There is a recent trend towards live streaming video from mobile devices on the internet. Qik and Flixwagon are 2 of the companies that are providing S60 applications and storage on their website. With either of them you can start recording video with your Nokia S60 device that is then uploaded and streamed live to their website.

Matthew has posted an entry over on Darla Mack's Blog that compares the audio and video from a recent event he attended. While at a musical play he used 2 Nokia devices, one live streamed with Qik and the other with Flixwagon.

Another big event was Live streamed this weekend. The Symbian-Guru decided to use a couple N82s to Live stream his Wedding on Flixwagon. Now that is an excellent way to share the marriage live with others that couldn't attend! =)

What do you think of this recent popularity of live streaming video with your S60 mobile device? Have you tried Qik or Flixwagon? If so what one do you prefer and why?

If you haven't tried either yet but are curious why not head over to one of their sites and sign-up? They are free to use, the only thing you would have to pay for is your Packet Data usage while streaming over the cellular network. Therefore if you are using one of these services, WiFi is the preferable upload method unless you have an unlimited Data plan from your cellular provider.
