Qik To Come Pre-Loaded On New Nokia Phone

I was thrilled when I came across the following on TechCrunch:

Qik has announced that its video streaming software will come pre-installed on Nokia’s just-launched 5800 XpressMusic touchscreen phone - the first deal of its kind for the still-young startup. The deal marks a big win for Qik, as it will expose the company to a wide audience while removing its biggest barrier to entry (many mobile phone users are reluctant to download and install new software).

I have a couple friends at Qik and I can safely say, they deserve the recognition. I actually spent my 4th of July at their offices when they were located in Foster City (they're now located in Redwood City). Most of the Qik team along with friends and family were there watching the fireworks from the 16th floor and just from the short time I spent with them I could tell how close knit of a team they are and speaking with my friends that work there - they're all very bright and dedicated.

I'm expecting Qik to become even bigger Silicon Valley players.
