Orb Networks - Engadget Interview

In other "personal-media" news this week, Engadget posted a J.D. Lasika interview with Orb Networks CEO Jim Behrens about the growing importance of personal media. Orb Networks is a web-based service that streams music, video, and photos from your Windows XP computer (Mac and Linux soon) to other Internet connected devices. You can access this digital media as well as streaming television with a laptop, PDA, or Smartphone.

Excerpt:

A user just needs to go to your site, download a free application and install it on a PC, and they’re off?

"Any device that has a Web browser in it, that’s right. We’ll connect it to their home PC and show them a display of all the media they have available. They can see their favorites or playlists or most recently recorded videos or whatever."

"It’s about you getting to any of the content you already own on any device anywhere you connect to the Internet, but also being able to format the bit rate for other content that may not be accessible on that device from other places."

If you're looking to access music, live television, videos, photos and other digital content at any time from any device that can connect to the Internet, Orb Networks is a must-see service.
