Qik temporarily unavailable for HTC Evo users

Just yesterday we detailed the standard and premium features of Qik. Now it appears Qik is having some technical issues with their Android Market app:

Earlier in the day we ran into a snag with Qik for HTC EVO 4G not being visible in the Android Market from the HTC EVO 4G devices – even though it was published to the market. Hats off to our great partner Google. Their Android team jumped in, found the issue and came up with a workaround that enabled us to at least get the new Qik Video client out to our users.

We had an unprecedented 20X the amount of workload on our servers. As a result, you were seeing issues connecting to our service on and off. So, our team is now out provisioning more capacity and we expect to have this in control shortly. We feel bad that not all of you got a chance to experience the new Qik Video today and truly appreciate your patience. Rest assured we are not going to rest till this is humming and you are able to video chat with your friends and loved ones.
Update: We have unpublished the client till this issue is resolved.

I just checked on my Nexus One and I can see the app, so this likely just affects new Evo owners.
