HAUP and ORB Networks....third party commentary..
HAUP and ORB Networks have issued several joint PRs in recent months. Here is an interesting commentary from a third party:
Live TV, music, video and pictures on your mobile device with Orb
In a remarkable software-based media anywhere solution, Orb Networks has provided over the last year or two the technology base to let you watch your home media content wherever you happen to be. And thanks to a shift in their business strategy, you can do this all for free. Music, video and pictures from your home can be available to you whether you are waiting at the airport, sitting in your car, or stuck late at the office.
While Orb has established the technology and infrastructure to enable successful media streaming, this is just the beginning. For example, as the company grows their customer base, they have plans for targeted advertising that would enhance your experience rather than dominate it, and additional partnerships, all funding this free service in the future without becoming intrusive.
Some of Orb’s recent advances include the following:
* Orb is now bundled with Hauppauge’s WinTV products in the U.S. as well as in the UK. hauppauge (Nasdaq: HAUP).
* Orb 2.0 is in beta and nearly ready for general release (before the end of the year). The new version will bring a smaller, optimized 10MB client and brings improvements in functionality, features and an interface upgrade.
* Nokia N80 Internet edition phones will be shipped with an Orb bookmark.
The potential seems virtually unlimited, and if Orb continues to catch on, there will be much more to come. So far, over 1.5 million hours of media have been streamed by Orb customers. If you want to jump into the future of enjoying your content anywhere, be sure to give Orb a try.
