Orb - Free Way To Share Media
I came across a very cool app today called Orb from a company called Orb Networks. After you register on their website and install the small download it enables you to send media over the Internet from your PC to any connected computer for free. It basically turns your Windows computer into a restricted Internet media server. You can use another PC or certain PDAs and smart phones to access your music, photos, videos, or television signal, if your host PC has a TV tuner. All the receiving device needs is broadband Internet access, a browser, and a media player. You apparently can also schedule TV recordings remotely via a browser too. I wonder if we could program this to download podcasts and have that stream it to our phones…
