And the two versions will play nice with one another.
Pointy Heads Software has announced that it's revamped its Knocking phone-to-phone video streaming app, which made its debut on iPhone last November.
This includes launching an Android version of the application, which lets people broadcast live video from one handset to another. The iPhone and Android versions will be fully compatible with one another.
Pointy Heads has also launched a swathe of new social networking features for the app, including online user profiles and forums, as well as a redesigned website.
The company says that hundreds of thousands of people have already downloaded the iPhone app, and that it's still being downloaded around 13,000 times a day.
"We’ve had enormous success as the only phone-to-phone 3G video app on the iPhone," says co-founder Jim Montalto.

"We’re excited to debut on Android, and to let Android users interact with iPhone users in ways they haven’t ever been able to before."

Knocking caused a legal headache for Apple last year, when Emblaze issued a press release accusing Apple of infringing its media streaming technology in the HTTP Live Streaming API used by Knocking.
All seems to have gone quiet on that front since, but it will be interesting to see if Emblaze has anything to say about Google and Android, in the wake of this new version of the app.
