First Carcast with Flixwagon - Qik versus Flixwagon shootout
Mon, 2008-02-04 21:05 — Roland
Today I tried out flixwagon, "a stream live from cellphone" competitor to Qik. I did a "Carcast" direct from my N95 (mounted on the empty passenger seat with my Gorillapod) as I drove from Gastown to the Viaduct (12 minutes). Impressive!
What Flixwagon seems better at then Qik:

Anyways the proof is in the video and both Qik and Flixwagon are evolving at a rapid rate, so let the competition continue! Check out my flixwagon "CarCast":
What Flixwagon seems better at then Qik:
- Better buffering
- More "Ajax-y" website
What Qik seems better at then Flixwagon:
- Non Cheesy look and feel. I could live without the little flixwagon icon moving about before the video is shown and the "too cute" flixwagon smiley icons.
- Higher Resolution. Qik seems to be higher resolution the flixwagon. Qik is 320x240, Flixwagon seems to be lower resolution
Better URLs. There seems to be no flixwagon equivalent of qik.com/roland. If it's there I couldn't find it.UPDATE: it's there! found it by URL hacking, no obvious link when logged in, my page is indeed flixwagon.com/roland
Anyways the proof is in the video and both Qik and Flixwagon are evolving at a rapid rate, so let the competition continue! Check out my flixwagon "CarCast":

Flixwagon & Qik
Tried Both, Flixwagon has 320x240 as well, and give the same high quality on lower end devices. I use a Nokia 6120 and get the same quality as above.
Couldn't get the QIK client work on my 6120.. they never responed to my email.
This is going to be very interesting fight
Qik is great.
