Qik (currently owned by Skype) has just released a new app for the iPhone. Called Qik Video Connect, this app allows users to make 2-way calls, record video mall and host live video broadcasts that you can easily share on Facebook and Twitter. In addition to you broadcasting your own videos, you can easily create a newsfeed that loads videos from all your friends, so you’ll never have to miss out a post from then. Qik Video Connect works over 3G, 4G (unsupported by the iPhone at the moment) and WiFi. The app is available on the App Store for $2.99, while the free version is still awaiting approval from Apple. The main differences between the premium and the free version is the addition of real-time effects and filters (like those found in the Qik Video Camera Pro app currently available), editing tools and support for HD-video quality. Head here if you’d like to give Qik Video Connect a shot.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
