In a blog post from earlier today, Qik says, "We have now taken the next step and submitted the Qik application that enables you to share your experience live from your iPhone for approval to App Store."
As you may know, iPhone users not afraid of jailbreaking their devices have been able to stream live video from their phones for more than a year now. In fact, I've been a fan of the company and the service since they released their unapproved version of the application.
Should the new app marry the functionality of the original, Qik iPhone users will be able to broadcast video live from their phones, tap to quickly tweet or post to Facebook, add titles and tags and view comments as they're created.
If Apple approves Qik's application -- and there's no obvious reason why it should not -- it would suggest that the flood gates to live broadcasting have been opened.
