For those of you who’ve always wanted to broadcast or stream your corporate meetings to friends using your trusty BlackBerry, the folks from over at Qik have very good news. It seems that a lot of BlackBerry users have been longing for their very own Qik client, and fortunately Qik was kind enough to oblige.
Now, if you’ve got a BlackBerry Pearl 8120, BlackBerry Pearl 8130, BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Curve, or BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220, you can expect to fiddle with the first alpha release client of Qik starting today.
Actually, the BlackBerry Curve and BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 release clients aren’t yet ready for prime time, but the other models mentioned can immediately be used to join in on the fun. Qik adds that the BlackBerry Curve 8320 and 8330 have been confirmed to be also alpha-ready.
Note, however, that there are several differences with these BlackBerry alpha release clients and the clients for other handsets, and they are:
- When you start Qik, a screen is shown with just one button - Stream. Press the center button to start streaming. This will bring up the camera application and you’ll be off streaming live to the web. When you are ready to stop, just press the center button again.
- Depending on the network condition, after you press stop, you may see a progress % on the top right hand corner indicating the video that is left to be sent. It is advised to wait for the stream to be completely uploaded prior to streaming again.
- In this version, the chat does not show up overlayed on the camera.
- For best performance, use BlackBerry OS 4.5 and above.
- Your BlackBerry should have a SD card and video capture should be set to the directory: SDCard/Blackberry/Videos.
- The video capturing mode should not be set to the MMS mode.
That’s according to the Qik team themselves. Get it now by going to http://qik.com/dl/165 if you’re already a Qik user, or sign up first at http://qik.com/sign_up.

After making its way in many countries, Blackberry Bold will make its mark in US markets soon. AT&T is chosen to be the perfect one which would be selling from November 4 at a price of $300 with a 2-year commitment.
Bold is one of the best handsets to come out of RIM’s stable. For the uninitiated, the phone has a fast 624MHz processor, vivid HVGA screen, 2 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA and a microSD card slot. AT&T will also integrate their specialized services like Navigator, Cellular Video and Mobile Music with the phone.

Being such a tech geek, I have a tendency to gravitate towards digital watches. But every once in a while I’ll stumble onto an analog that catches my eye.
Designed by Italo Fontana, the Welder K24 is about as macho looking a watch as you’ll find. This chunky timepiece won’t win any awards for subtlety. This is no wimpy little wristwatch. No sirree, Bob!
The K24 comes in a variety of hefty designs including an IP black finish with red, green or luminescent white numerals, as well as versions in stainless steel or 24K gold-plate.
All models are water-resistant to at least 100m, and feature a heavy-duty crown protector to keep you from damaging the mechanism.
You can find the entire collection of Welder K24 watches over on WatchUSeek, with prices ranging from $530 to $990 USD.
Me? I’m waiting to get my hands on the brand new K29 (pictured below)… Yowza.

If you’ve been waiting for official word on Rogers’ new BlackBerry Bold pricing plans, prepare to get screwed. Don’t ask me why, just look at that sweet, sweet photo below.
I can’t even dream of photoshopping this. Rogers sure is bold (pun intended) for pricing the BlackBerry Bold $399.99 and requiring a 3-year contract with it once it finally releases the thing in Canada. Why, I can just imagine all those Bold hopefuls casting a teary-eyed look at that new iPhone 3G and its $199 US price tag…
Back to the issue at hand, it seems that Rogers will never run out of ways to annoy its already existing and possible new subscribers. The BlackBerry Bold will be $399.99 with a 3-year contract if you want one from Rogers, whether you like it or not. Is it worth it? You decide.

Movistar Chile has revealed that it can now put the BlackBerry Bold into the hands of very eager customers, for a price that will almost surely send chills down your business-oriented spine.
In the BlackBerry Bold’s page from Movistar Chile’s web site, the shiny new BlackBerry is seen with a red banner drawn across its handsome face, and on it is written “FIRST ONES IN THE WORLD.” Proud and true.
But now your excitement will wane and turn into puzzlement as the local list price is 299,990 Chilean Pesos, which translates to about $588 USD. Well, to own this business phone, at least you don’t have to sell the business itself. And that’s a good thing.

This is not the thing we had expected but it seems Chile Blackberry users will be first ones to get their hands on much hyped Bold 9000. MoviStar, the Chilean service provider obviously doesn’t want to waste this marketing opportunity and are using ‘the first’ tag to the fullest.
For the users, this won’t come cheap as MoviStar will be charging $588 a piece for a two year contract.
