Last week, Qik announced that their iPhone 3GS app can be downloaded for free directly from the App Store. They also claim that Qik is the first mobile video app to let you frame your videos either horizontally or vertically.

Basically, Qik enables live video casting over any cell network or wifi connection and archive it via Qik.com.  There is no streaming ability for the iPhone version –you know why.

First, this version of Qik allows you to pull videos right from your iPhone 3GS Camera Roll and upload them to your Qik account. So if you’ve recorded videos with the iPhone 3GS native camera, you can share those via Qik, too. Qik is the only iPhone 3GS app to let you share videos from your camera roll straight to your blog, website, Facebook, YouTube, and all the other networks Qik integrates with.

Once you’ve stopped recording, your video upload begins automatically – without the hassle of pushing any more buttons or filling out any form fields.

At this time, besides no streaming, this app also only works over Wi-Fi. You have to wait for its 3G capability. “We’ve submitted an update to the App Store which will have it working over 3G networks, too,” a Qik blogger said. Good job!
