Windows Mobile client updated: Contacts integration, enhanced sharing, upload existing videos, and much more...

Send a live video message to your Contacts:
This exciting feature enables you to send video messages to your contacts directly from the Contacts application on your phone. To do this, go to Contacts on your phone and then press Menu and select "Send Qik video message". This will then start Qik, start streaming live and send an SMS to the selected contact with the link to the video. Then once you stop the client, the Qik client exits and returns you back to the Contacts application. The person receiving the SMS can click the link in the SMS to view the video from their browser.

Now - how cool is this?

Enhanced sharing:

Now you can share your videos directly from the phone by going to Options > Share.
- SMS: SMS the link of the video to your friends & family.
- Email: Share the link of the video over Email.
- Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.: Share the video with your community on any social network, blog that you have configured on qik.com.

Upload existing videos:
Have videos that you have taken from your camera application on your phone and have no easy way share them online? Well, now you can not only upload these videos easily using Qik but easily share them easily using our enhanced sharing capabilities. To use this feature simply start Qik and then:
- Press Menu > Upload.
- Go to the folder where the videos are located and select the video(s) you'd like to upload.

Done! Your videos will be uploaded to your profile page on qik.com and shared with the the networks that you have configured to automatically send your Qik videos to.

Support for more languages:
With this version, we now also support French, Russian, German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese.

Quality improvement:
As usual we continue to push the bar on quality and this release contains a number of quality improvements including the ability to stream at a much higher frame rate even in low light conditions.

Coming soon: Similar capabilities for the touch-enabled Pocket PC phones.
