Followed this on techmeme.com and now here. I haven't had enough time to keep up on Qik and their competitors, so regardless of wether I agree or disagree with Scoble or Steve's posts the important thing for me is that the perspectives are most informative. Thank you both.

I find it fascinating that the number one issue in the blackberry vs. iphone debate is still the tactile keyboard. Personally I find the issue a little like debating the keyboard on the ThinkPad vs. the Macbook. All that is required is a little time to becoem comfortable with a new interface. I thought by now someone might have made an invisible plasitc overlay that raises or at least offers a tiny little nibs on the touch to offer some ositive tactile touch feedback. This would help people rapidly develop an instinctual finger or thumb placement on the iphone so they can learn to type faster and more accurately over time. P.S. Regarding something B Yen said about generalizing vs. niche markets. Funny, some would say when Youtube started it was in an extremely niche market. Some might still say it is. The same might have been said of apple, ibm, even microsoft back in the day. The trick is finding a niche market / an evolving market and exploding it. You don't set out to become a generalist, you make/set the market and therby become the defacto standard. It's the next generation of innovators who try to figure out where the market is going so they can carve out a niche in its path. This is exactly what qik and the other fore mentioned services are doing. I tend to believe that Qik and the rest of these "live streaming" video blogging services are the future. 5-10 years from now the majority of video posted might well be "live" via wifi, wimax or some post-cessor to 3g. I find it funny that only 4 years after youtube started in this very niche segment of blogging called "video blogging" that we now consider them a generalist. It's a mark of just how big this space has exploded.
