Orb Networks, a developer of web application services, has announced that its OrbLive 2.0 media application for the Apple iPhone 3G and iPod touch, is now available in the iPhone App Store.
OrbLive claims that it enables iPhone and iPod touch owners to enjoy any media that they can experience on their home PC, wherever they have a network connection. In May 2008, Orb has launched its special application, OrbLive, to enable streaming of live TV on iPhone and iPod Touch. It enables the streaming of any video format to iPhones.
OrbLive iPhone application enables users to enjoy content in any video format – downloaded BitTorrent files, TiVo-to-Go files, DivX, Mov, MP4, live video and TV streams. OrbLive utilises the networking capabilities of the iPhone and the iPod touch for the purpose.
Joe Costello, CEO of Orb Networks, said: The iPod touch and the iPhone are cutting-edge mobile devices, but as media players, they were designed to be used with iTunes, so unfortunately users are shut out of any live media like TV, radio, or webcams. Prior to OrbLive, users were forced to download their selections from their computer or remember to sync before they left the house. With OrbLive on your iPhone or iPod touch, all your media is at your fingertips.
