I've been using Qik Lite on and off on my N900 for a few months with varying degrees of success between being able to email specific recipients a link to view and accidentally making a video 'public' or stuffing it onto Facebook. The video quality could be better. I saw a few months back that Qik launched a Premium version @$4.99 for one year with what they called HD video, but this wasn't out for the N900 yet.

Yesterday evening I noticed "Qik Video Camera Pro for N900" in the Ovi store for £1.50 and in the description it claimed something like 800x480 video recording. The icon for the application was "Qik Premium". So I downloaded it, only to find that it was in fact just the Lite version with a price tag on it, which naturally ticked me off a bit.

In response, I posted a review on Ovi store pointing out the apparent con-trick going on and also reported the application to Ovi as fraud. The upshot is that the application has been pulled from the store overnight, and perhaps, just perhaps, Ovi & Nokia may have actually listened.

I doubt that any major changes going to happen to OVI store near future regarding N900. Considering all this on and off things. They cant even properly fix it so it will work at least properly. When you open website by default it show " Recommended apps. But when you click for example on "Apps you cant see some of applications that is in Recommended. At lease that what im getting constantly.

That's pretty horrible. It should not have been in the OVI store in the first place.
