Pointy Heads LLC got quite a lot of attention when none other than Apple CEO Steve Jobs personally blessed the app into the App Store, allowing live, direct iPhone to iPhone video streaming. Knocking Live Video has just been updated to version 2.0 and brings with it a host of iPhone 4-only features as well as audio to go with your streaming video.

Knocking Live Video 2.0 hit the App Store on Wednesday, which now allows users to broadcast streaming video complete with audio. The app now requires iOS 4 and also offers a choice of three video quality settings (low, medium or high) as well as the ability to turn audio on or off and gives the receiver controls for turning the speaker on or off as well.

Developer Pointy Heads LLC has also brought some much-requested love for iPhone 4 users as well, allowing owners of that handset to switch between the back and front-facing cameras at will, as well as use the LED flash to illuminate the video streamed from the back camera (you have the same three options: on, off or auto).

Best of all, the video performance is enhanced and the app now better adapts to your connection, including throwing up a warning when you try to “knock” another user when your own connection might be questionable. That so-called “feature” appears to have a few bugs, since it gave us the warning even with a strong Wi-Fi connection, but we figure the developers will eventually issue an update to make that warning less obnoxious (or give the user the ability to turn it off entirely).

Because the new audio broadcasting feature is one-way in the same manner as the video, in many cases it might be preferable to use a cell phone connection to get two-way audio, which is done by first placing a call, putting it on speakerphone and then opening Knocking Live Video and knocking your intended recipient (a trick we documented before when comparing FaceTime alternatives).



Knocking Live Video requires iOS 4 or later and as such it only runs on the iPhone and iPod touch (for now). The free 1.9MB app is available for download right now.
