> Why would you not call it iChat and allow it to work with desktop-iChat?

because it's apparently not an IM application, and Skype will have to take care of that part.

> With Qik, any Android phone, or more important any phone period has the ability to communicate with other Qik users regardless of their phone.

Uh not really, unless they've fixed the 20s lag (each way). And it's not like Qik can't update their iPhone client. You know, the one which already exists.
