"In 2008 it is the widespread availability of high-quality camera phones like the Nokia N95, a phone with a 5 megapixel camera, Carl Zeiss autofocus lens and supports shooting VGA video at 30fps together with the software from companies like Qik which are empowering a generation of people to be able to broadcast live streaming video from the palm of their hands just about anywhere one has access to either WiFi or wireless connectivity."

It was an amazing day here at Qik when we watched Robert Scoble interview the industry leaders across the globe. Here are some of the interviews from today:

• Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com
• Phillip Rosedale, CEO of Linden Labs
• William Amelio, CEO of Lenovo
• Vinod Khosla on environmental investing
• Eric Hippeau, Managing Partner of Softbank Capital

BBC News today reported from World Economic Forum on how Qik was used as an interactive TV solution. Link to the report.

"Robert was filming Mark not with a big video camera but a small Nokia mobile phone, that sent a live video stream of the interview to his website. So far, so ambitious. Now comes the stunner. While he was doing the interview, Robert saw live on his phone screen the comments and questions posted by his viewers."
