"The iPod touch and the iPhone are cutting-edge mobile devices, but asmedia players, they were designed to be used with iTunes, so unfortunatelyusers are shut out of any live media like TV, radio, or webcams," said JoeCostello, CEO of Orb. "Prior to OrbLive, users were forced to download theirselections from their computer or remember to sync before they left the house.With OrbLive on your iPhone or touch, all your media is at your fingertips."

OrbLive utilizes the powerful networking capabilities of the iPhone andtouch, transforming them into far more powerful media players. OrbLiveenables you to enjoy your entire media collection, not just the limited medialibrary stored on the device. With OrbLive, you use the network to connectand beam anything from your media collection, wherever you are. Don't carryit with you. Connect.

Originally released in May, 2008 before Apple launched the App Store,OrbLive v1 required users to jailbreak their phones. Although OrbLive wascritically acclaimed as the first media player for live content on the iPhone,many people didn't want to jailbreak their device. In spite of it all,300,000 iPhone users downloaded the earlier version of OrbLive. As soon asApple released the SDK, customers began clamoring for a version that couldwork on the new iPhone 3G and be sold through the App Store.

Now there are two versions of OrbLive available in the App Store. For$9.99, OrbLive 2.0 will play any of the media from your PC* -- music,movies/videos, photos, webcams, even live TV if you have a tuner card -- onyour iPhone or iPod touch. There are no other service or subscription feesrequired. OrbLive Free has all the functionality of the full version, butlimits your media selection to 3 randomly chosen titles of each media type.
