Qik Premium Adds Higher Quality Transcoding – Available Exclusively at Nokia’s Ovi Store

If you have been live streaming videos from Qik on your Nokia phones, then you might like to know that Qik Premium was released today exclusively for the Ovi store. It gives you the ability to save your videos from qik.com in the mpeg-4 format, higher quality transcoding, and access to upcoming features.

Qik Premium

It is available for download at a promotional price of $4.99/year which ends March 31st, 2010. Qik also promises to bring the ability to upload and share videos recorded with your mobile phone’s native camera application in an update. You can download Qik Premium from the Ovi Store application on your Nokia phone or through the browser with this link.

  • the only problem I see with this is that the device (well those that can qik) can already “...upload and share videos recorded with your mobile phone’s native camera application.” It's a part of the device (assuming it has a camera and data connectivity) and apart of qik. Both are capable of storing the video locally, both take the highest video it can possibly take, both allow you to upload and share with whomever you want. So, I guess I'm not seeing the point in paying $4.99 for something you can already do for free. UNLESS... they plan on removing the already installed and functioning capabilities of the device and software included. That... would be wrong.
  • Valid point .. But i think this is for users who are lazy or dont know how to save the video from the phone to their PC . They prefer the hard route . phone->qik->pc instead of phone->pc . but if you stream a lot and want to save the streams to your PC, then its a good service
  • yes, sadly, you're right... for the lazy. Guess I didn't think using the share feature built into the device was the hard route. ;) Technology, we take it for granted, as it becomes easier and easier and easier.
