Qik, the video-sharing site that clearly aspires to be the mobile YouTube, is jumping on the BlackBerry bandwagon. The company announced that it has created an alpha version of its video-sharing client for several BlackBerry models, including the Pearl 8120 and 8130, the Bold, and the Curve 8320 and 8330.

"We are excited to bring our lifestyle technology to the millions of BlackBerry users worldwide," said Ramu Sunkara, cofounder and CEO of Qik. "In our quest to bring mobile live video sharing to the masses, we now support the broadest range of platforms including Symbian, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and Java-enabled mass market phones."

The company enables mobile users with video capability to stream live video around the world, either on their mobile phones or on the Web. Qik-captured videos can also be embedded in Web pages or social-networking sites like Orkut and MySpace.
