[*]Knocking apps eliminate the ?upload, send, download? process, establishing live, device-to-device connectivity regardless of proximity or other barriers[*] Knocking Live Video creates an instant, device-to-device connection allowing one iPhone user to broadcast live streaming video to another iPhone handset[*] Knocking is direct, visual communication. Where mobile users once got a call, an e-mail, text or multimedia message, they now get a knock[*] Existing video apps make the Internet both a boundary and enabler of ?sharing?. Most require users to shoot video, render it small enough to be sent, then upload and transmit content using the Internet as another person waits for a lengthy download.
