Qik for the iPhone was originally designed to arrive with 3G streaming and catapult the iPhone in to the online video world by transforming it in to a portable recorder. While the iPhone 3GS supplemented that functionality and allowed users to upload their videos to YouTube and MobileMe easily and efficiently, Qik had already become the premier Jailbreak App and eventually arrived to the App Store sans 3G streaming. However, a recent update has re-enabled the feature.

While the newly update Qik App gains 3G functionality which will allow users to upload their videos anywhere, it was initially limited to WiFi data uploads and could not instantly stream a user’s recording due to limitations in the iPhone’s SDK. Instant streaming is one of the high points of the Qik App and while it’s limited in Firmware 3.0, hopefully Apple will expands its SDK library soon.

Qik is available from the App Store
