Native Orb App Brings Live TV to Your iPhone

The OrbLive streaming media app is for everyone who is sick of waiting for a Sling Mobile client on their iPhone. As you may (or may not) know, Orb pulls files off your PC and streams them to any device with an app or web browser capable of accessing the Orb interface. From there you can stream music, video files, and if you have a TV tuner card, live TV. While Orb was previously accessible via Safari, this new, official app is supposed to be an easier, more intuitive way to get your media on the go. It does require a jailbroken iPhone, however. Check out the video of the client in action. [Orb via Register Hardware]

Orb to Allow You to Stream Your Home Music Collection to any iPhone/iPod Touch

Orb to Allow You to Stream Your Home Music Collection to any iPhone/iPod Touch

Orb is releasing a new piece of software called Winamp Remote that will allow you to listen to your home music collection from anywhere with a Wi-Fi signal, and it won't even require you to hack your iPhone. It works completely through the web browser, letting you get to your home collection and stream it quickly and easily. You can also share songs with friends by sending them links via SMS. Check a video of it in action after the jump.

It looks like a pretty awesome piece of software. Unfortunately, it'll be pretty useless away from Wi-Fi due to EDGE's notorious slowness. If (when) a 3G iPhone comes out, however, it could make waiting for iPod-classic-sized flash drives to come out a lot less painful, as you'll be able to access anything you don't have loaded on your iPhone/iPod Touch from home without much trouble at all.
