Orb for Mac

From Yenra

On November 5, 2009, Orb Networks today announced the availability of Orb for Macintosh, delivering media anywhere functionality to Apple Mac users. Orb enables anything from iTunes to be enjoyed on any internet-connected device, without downloading titles beforehand or uploading anything to the cloud. Streaming media leader Orb, which released its media solution for Windows PCs in 2005, and developed the first streaming media player for the iPhone in 2008, boasts more than ten million users.

OrbLive was the first application to deliver live TV on the iPhone, initially as a jailbreak application and then as an approved app in the iTunes App Store in 2008. The OrbLive application has been downloaded by more than 500,000 iPhone owners and more than a million people have used the private label OrbLive apps.

The free Orb application and service enable the streaming of any media type from computers running Windows or the Mac OS to any other internet-connected device including laptops, mobile phones, and even TVs connected to a game console. Users can enjoy all their music, photos, video and webcams anywhere, anytime, without first having to download content before they leave the house, or upload anything to the cloud. All media stays on the computer and is streamed directly to the remote device. Orb for Macstreams the content over the internet.

Orb for Mac runs on any Mac with OS X 10.5 or later. It can stream music, photos, videos, home movies, and webcam feeds stored in iTunes, on the computer, or any connected device (support for live TV, via a connected tuner card, will be included in subsequent versions). On-the-go access to this media requires only a browser, streaming media player, and an internet connection, so every laptop or netbook, virtually any recent generation mobile phone, and many other devices like media players, game consoles, and tablet-type computers can play content from the Mac. No other hardware, software or subscription fees are necessary.
