Orb 2.0 streams live TV to your iPhone

We knew Orb was working on an iPhone port of its media-streaming app, and it looks like Orb 2.0 just stealthily went live in the App Store. The $10 app lets TV junkies watch live TV from a tuner connected to a Windows PC, as well as stream music, videos, and photos from their libraries. Even cooler, Orb allows you to monitor a webcam, so you can finally nail those Diet Coke thieves from the comfort of your cube (or keep an eye on your infant, whatever.) Sadly there's no date for the Mac and Linux versions, but Orb says they're on the way. Alright Sling, looks like the ball's in your court.

It's also live on Android except all features are FREE! Same interface as the iPhone but no charge and no download. Just point your browser to http://mycast.orb.com with your login credentials.

Wow! Bought the application... It works pretty good, with only minor glitches like a few connection timeout errors. Absolutely no problems with my TV Tuner card. I have an AVer Media NanoExpress Hybrid. I think my life has gone 100% digital now :D Webcam integration also works very well with my Dell XPS M1530. I am very happy. Worth the buy.
