Stream Live Video from Your BlackBerry with Next2Friends

Notebook users can stream live video with Ustream.tv. Windows Mobile and Nokia S60 phone owners can stream live video with Qik. But what about the Crackberry crowd? Finally, there's a solution: Next2Friends lets BlackBerry users stream live video straight from their phones.

All you do is sign up for the service (it's free), download the Next2Friends app (also free) to your BlackBerry Curve or Pearl, then run it to broadcast live video. (Like Qik, it also supports Windows Mobile and Nokia handsets.)

Like similar services, Next2Friends also records your streaming video and stores it for later viewing. Plus, viewers can engage in chat, video messaging, and other social-networking activities. Of course, feel free to use this for real-world business purposes, like beaming video from a trade show or company meeting to those who can't attend. So, hey, all you BlackBerry users: Give Next2Friends a try and let us know how it went. In the Comments, of course. [via jkOnTheRun]
