Just one week after Qik release its new J2ME video streaming software, they have now released an alpha verfsion of BlackBerry client. The software works best under the latest BlackBerry OS 4.5, supports the BlackBerry Pearl 8120, BlackBerry Pearl 8130, Blackberry Curve 8320/ 8330 and BlackBerry Bold. BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 will be available soon.

If you have got an account on Qik, just visit qik.com/dl/165 on your blackberry to install the software. The Qik on BlackBerry is slightly different from what you get on other mobile devices:

In this alpha release, Qik on BlackBerry works a bit differently than the other devices.
- When you start Qik, a screen is shown with just one button – Stream. Press the center button to start streaming. This will bring up the camera application and you’ll be off streaming live to the web. When you are ready to stop, just press the center button again.
- Depending on the network condition, after you press stop, you may see a progress % on the top right hand corner indicating the video that is left to be sent. It is advised to wait for the stream to be completely uploaded prior to streaming again.
- In this version, the chat does not show up overlayed on the camera.
- For best performance, use BlackBerry OS 4.5 and above.
- Your BlackBerry should have a SD card and video capture should be set to the directory: SDCard/Blackberry/Videos.
- The video capturing mode should not be set to the MMS mode.
