Orb is one my favorite new services that I have come across and unlike many fun apps, this is one TRULY meaningful service! In short, Orb allows you remote access to your PC media (pics, videos, music) via a web portal that you can access via any phone that supports streaming media. You can also access EVERY file on your computer as long as your phone has a doc viewer program.
1. Say you are in a meeting and you need access to a last months sales reports, visit mycast.orb.com, login, and boom there is your file.
2. What if you have photos from last years vacation you want to show?
3. What if you have DRM protected music in Itunes that wont transfer to your phone--just play it via Orb.
4. If you have an iPhone you can even broadcast live content.
5. If you have a TV tuner card in your computer just connect your cable and you will have access to live TV...anywhere!
To set this up, you actually just download
Orb to your PC (need XP or Vista)
here. After its downloaded you will create an account which then makes the content accessible via the secure portal.
