The new app enables individuals to stay  connected with friends and family through video calling, video  messaging, and video sharing.<\/p>\n<p>With  Qik Video Connect, users can instantly share what is happening around  them with friends and family through a live video call. If they aren\u2019t  able to connect live, then users can still share all the rich details of  the moment by sending a video mail. They can even post a live video  link to Facebook and Twitter so friends can watch the moment as it is  being recorded. The new social video feed makes it easy to follow what  friends are doing by receiving alerts when new videos are shared and  watching those videos right from the phone.<\/p>\n<p>Whether  it\u2019s capturing a greeting for your loved ones, recording a video of  your child as they score the winning goal, or having a video chat while  you\u2019re away from your friends and family \u2013 Qik makes it simple to  record, share and stay connected through video.<\/p>\n<p>There  are two versions of the application available to consumers \u2013 Qik Video  Connect and Qik Video Connect Plus. The latter is available for US$2.99 and offers additional features such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Real-time effects: Customize and enhance video chat and live video streaming with seven effects and filters.<\/li>\n<li>Video editing: Use simple video editing tools directly from your device to share the best moments.<\/li>\n<li>HD quality: Upload and share true HD quality videos captured on your phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIn  a world of fast and readily available 3G and WiFi connections, video  allows you to transcend the current world of text and photo messages to  share special and everyday moments in a more meaningful way,\u201d said Rick  Osterloh, head of consumer products for Skype. \u201cQik Video Connect makes  the concept of \u2018see what I see\u2019 a full reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both  the Qik Video Connect and Connect Plus apps enable live video chat over  3G* or WiFi between iPhones, iPod Touches with built-in cameras. Qik is  integrated with your phone\u2019s contact list so you can easily see when  your friends and family are available for a live video chat. In  addition, you can also send a private video mail through email or SMS if  your friends and family aren\u2019t able to talk live, no matter what device  or phone network they are on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Both apps are available for download today through the Apple App store for iPhone and 4<sup>th<\/sup> generation iPod Touch models with iOS 4 or later.
