“Knocking streams from one iPhone to another,” Foresman reports. “You simply launch the app and “knock” another iPhone user with Knocking Live Video installed. That user will receive the ‘knock’ via push notification. Once answered, you can then stream live video directly to them. An iPhone 3GS or iPhone 3G is required to transmit video, but other iPhones and iPod touches can receive and view the stream via WiFi.”
Foresman reports, “Pointy Head developer Brian Meehan explained to Ars, ”With Knocking people share what they are doing right now. Our testers have referred to knocking as a ‘visual tweet.””
Foresman reports, “The approval is significant for several reasons. It’s the first app with verified use of private APIs that Apple has approved for sale. It’s also the first app approved to allow live video streaming. Finally, it’s a concrete sign that Apple is indeed working to address developer concerns—though persuading Steve Jobs to personally approve an app is probably not going to become an official policy.”

The free Knocking Live Video app is available via Apple’s iTunes App Store here.

“Sounds like squirting to me!”
Then it would have been the Knocked Up app.
I guess everything happens in cycles.
Just keep trying and eventually it will launch. I was able to connect my 3GS with my sons 3G and streamed video to him for minutes. Tried it back the other way but couldn’t get connection. There is definetly a server issue here or overload!
Jon VP,
Thanks. Then the next question is how did they know about them? Big developer getting some special help from Apple?
@ Cubert.. “Big developer getting some special help from Apple?”
Probably, he/she did have Steve’s personal email didn’t he?
Jim – TIV,
His email is sjobs@apple.com.
True. That’s where many people have emailed him and gotten direct responses.
