\"\"<\/a>Who’s nailed peer-to-peer live streaming video on smartphones such as iPhone and Android? It’s not Qik<\/a>, Ustream<\/a> or Justin.tv<\/a>, it’s Knocking Live, an application by bootstrapped Point Heads Software<\/a>. Interestingly enough, Knocking Live reached 1 million users faster than Foursquare or Gowalla did (see graph).<\/p>\n

Pointy Heads released Knocking Live<\/a> in December in collaboration with Sourcebits<\/a>, and have since amassed 1.6 million downloads. They’re here at TechCrunch Disrupt<\/a>’s Startup Alley, among a plethora of other great companies.<\/p>\n

Knocking Live is the first (and only, to my knowledge) peer-to-peer video sharing. You can use it to stream a live video feed from your iPhone’s camera to another iPhone (or Android) anywhere in the world. You don’t need an iPhone 3GS, you can have a 3G.<\/p>\n

Here’s the video of streaming video from hundreds of feet up using an RC Airplane and an iPhone with Knocking Live:<\/p>\n
