Not that it comes as a huge surprise given the wide array of devices it already supports, but according to The Register, Orb is apparently set to finally get official with its support of both the iPhone and the iPod touch "in the next few days." As with other devices, that'll let you get in a little place-shifting with the aid of the iPhone's browser, including letting access your music collection via the Orb-powered version of Winamp. On the iPhone, you'll also have the added benefit of being able to send links to songs in an SMS chat session. Of course, just 'cause it's not official doesn't mean you make use of Orb in its current state which, for all we know, could be exactly what's in store when Orb does make things official.
Good luck with that EDGE connection on the iPhone... yeah its 200Kbps theoretical but what is the actual? My 3G is usually 300-400 when its, 1.5Mbps theoretical? Keeping my Blackjack, thankyouverymuch :)
How the hell are they gonna pull this off without RTSP? I mean I'm all for this I love ORB and I'd love for this to work. But I thought the iPhone only supports fast start of files....
when I read such an article on reputed site like Engadget, I am surprised!!
What is so special abt Orb? So what if they adding iphone support - who cares?
There are so many better solutions for video watching like avotmv.com, vtap.com and few others. They all support iPhone & other devices, cooler features, better, UI.
who cares? probably people who own an iphone or ipod touch... and last time I checked, this is exactly the kind of stuff engadget reported on.
I really do miss that about my previous Windows Mobile and S60 devices. It was definitely helpful to be able to stream my entire library when I'm out somewhere and want some background music.
