    A great, compact program that if used correctly can practically turn the new gaming consoles into mini-computers, with access to music, videos, and TV.

    This is a great little program though if you use it to stream media to a cell phone its a good way to kill a cell phone battery.

    I have used Orb before, and it is a good service. Even the WinAMP bundled version does the job description.

    The only snag I ever had was downloading Orb off the site, took forever

    A lot better then I expected. The streaming website can be slow and hard to use on smaller screens, like my EEE701's but it's useable.

    Works great!

    Overall:

    - Requires you to signup for an online account, which is great for privacy
    - Requires you to use your console's web browser to access the content instead of DLNA.
    - The movies appear to be being downloaded via my PS3 from an external site despite the fact that they are located on the same local home network and as such things are incredibly slow.
    - Plays movies in a terrible flash player inside the browser
    - The installer is about as buggy as they come

    Awful in every way possible!

    Great program. I can stream music, video, and pictures to my phone. I can lookup youtube videos as well. My cell phone can never be boring ever again. I can stream from the Wii as well.

    This program is the best. I can access my files from work or from any where else. All you folks out their that has a job that blocks everything that u can think of, this program will get through. All you do is type in a web address and their al of your documents, musice, and even videos. Also yo can connect to it from your xBox 360(movies, music, etc). I love it..
