caught this over on WOM

Steve Garfield has been using his N95 to stream live to Qik, and his most recent video is a doozy.

Capturing the time that his Mom was interviewed for ABC News, Steve explains to the crew and presenter that what he’s filming is going out live to the internet and it’s all done through his Nokia N95. Cue completely baffled ‘techies’ and the totally confused-yet-potentially-amazed interviewer. Steve (and his mother) are clearly enjoying the fact that they have baffled the crew, and it’s a victory for Nokia and Qik fans across the planet over satellite trucks!

The video cameras in newer cell phones have become live-reporting tools, courtesy of new services that send moving images over the Internet as they're being captured. These services include Qik, Kyte, ComVu and Flixwagon.

When paired with certain cutting-edge handsets, such as Nokia's N95, live video journalism becomes possible. Anyone can become an eyewitness, capture those first steps, or whip up their own streaming video blog. 2008 is the year of Personal Mobile Broadcasting.

On this edition, we talk with Pioneer video blogger Steve Garfield who ran coverage of Super Tuesday in Boston using this technology. He shows us how he did it.
