Android selangkah lebih maju dari iOS
Sent to you by Antozz via Google Reader: Android to get Qik video calls
like FaceTime via Mobile Magazine by Michael Kwan on 9/17/10
Video calls over cell phones aren’t exactly anything new. Nokia phones
have supported this function natively for years, but Apple has just
started to popularize it with FaceTime. Hoping to capitalize on this
trend, Qik says it will soon be bringing a video call service to
Android smartphones.
You may already know about Qik and its livestreaming service, but it
looks like they’re expanding into the video call space too. This new
version of Qik will allow for full-duplex, full-screen video calls via
the Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet, but they say it should work with a range
of other Android devices too.
Unlike FaceTime, which only (officially) works over a Wi-Fi connection,
Qik says that you’ll be able to use its video call service over 3G, 4G,
and Wi-Fi. The interface will be similar to FaceTime with a full screen
of the person you’re talking to, shoving you into a smaller window in
the corner. In order to use the new Qik, which is set to hit Android
Market next month, you’ll need an Android phone with a Cortex-A8
processor. These include the Motorola Droid X, HTC EVO 4G, and Samsung
Galaxy S.
Qik for years has enabled mobile users the ability to broadcast movies
from their mobile phone directly to the web. They curently have 3.5
million users and are adding nearly 500,000 more each month. Qik
projects 75 million additional installs for 2011 thanks to their
partnership with HTC, Motorola and Nokia (for the N97).
