Our eyes popped a few weeks back when we first learned about the powerful Motorola Droid and the potential it has with its amazing camera. We set out to enhance our Android client to not just have the basic Droid and Android 2.0 support – but also showcase the power of the device. Today we are really excited to announce that no only can you download the Qik client from the Android Marketplace that supports Droid, but also request early beta access to a high-res Qik client for Droid that can capture videos in DVD resolution.
Share your experiences in DVD resolution
With this device we are raising the bar on quality – yet again! Qik for Droid can now capture of DVD resolution (720×480) video – first ever by any live mobile video provider. If you are interested in giving this beta version a try send an email to droidbeta@qik.com
Droid and Android 2.0 support
We have reworked our UI to support Droid’s amazing new high resolution screen.
Sharing gets more personal with improved Speed Sharing Ribbon
The Qik Speed Sharing Ribbon(TM) makes it easy to share what you are seeing with your friends. You can create shortcuts to select contacts from your phone and place them in the Speed Sharing Ribbon so that the next time you Qik you can share your Qiks with them with just a tap on the screen. You can even record your Qiks as private and share them privately just by selecting a person from the Speed Sharing Ribbon. Also, you can setup your sharing preferences for your favorite social networks like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube right from the phone and have them appear on the Speed Sharing Ribbon enabling you to share your Qiks with ease.
So, equip your new Droid device with Qik by downloading it from the Android Marketplace and let us know what you think by sending an email to android@qik.com.

I wanted to say that I like the qik for the droid. I came from the samsung omnia. I did want to suggest some of the features that I miss that were on the omnia software. The ability to mute the sound and the ability to use the flash as a fill light. I used those two options a lot.
While I really like a physical keyboard, after handling the Samsung Captivate for roughly quarter-hour, it is onerous to go back. At the moment I’m debating whether to visit Verizon for the Droid X, pass to Sprint for the EVO, or stay with AT&T for the Captivate…choices, decisions.
