About the new Qik video service on the Sprint EVO 4G phone | Qik Blog

Interesting. I wonder what these "Premium" features would be.
"Premium" seems to be the Evo4G buzz word when it comes to charging more.

Lol sounds like they're trying to cover their ass from the backlash.

yep you read correctly folks..according to our buddies at androidcentral Qik has said "Well, there’re a number of rumors flying around that the 2-way Qik mobile video service will require a premium subscription. We wanted to clarify what that really means. Firstly, rest assured that the core Qik service that lets you communicate live from your phone to other phones, web and desktop will be FREE. Yes – this means that the core capability of doing 2-way Qik video chat will be FREE for Sprint EVO 4G users. The subscription fee will be for some advanced premium features that we are working on, which we will be announcing on June 4th – the day the amazing HTC EVO 4G phone launches"

..seems that they saw how much backlash there was on the premium charge and wanted to tell the masses before everyone wouldve decided to no longer use it.

edit: oh and i take back the haters part..as I was one of them ^^' just dont want any harsh feelings lol.
