ORB the missing desktop link

[tannis]

Ok so I searched all over PPCgeeks and I couldn't find a post about my favorite PPC Software so here goes. This was originally developed out og my homestate of Oklahoma. If you'll go to ORBdotcom and dl their software to your desktop. You are then able to stream music/videos from your desktop to youe PPC (or Xbox/PS3/or Wii for that matter) This comes in handy especially when you listen to music allot or watch allot of videos. Forget having to sync files over to your phone... Best of all it will work with a wide variety of phones. My wife has a Sanyo 8400 and it works with her phone very nicely. Obviously EVDO is essential to making it work so people outside of sprint may have a hard time with it. Tell me about your experiences and what kind of bugs you can find with ORB it's been my favorite application for a few months now.

I ve been using it for the past month, works fine for me and i use it everyday on my break time at work . The only problem i dont like is sometimes it takes a couple of minutes to buff out, over all excellent program.

yeah orb rocks i love it. how can i put a link to it on right on my desktop though? more specifically a link straight to my play all music button on orb so i dont have to navigate through it while im driving

Yeah, I really felt like a noob today. I've been running Orb for about a year now and heard others talking about the "watching youtube videos straight from orb", but I always thought that was only youtube videos you added as favorites from a PC login or "orbthis" plugin. WELL.... apparently I was wrong. You can search:
Youtube
Google video
AOL video
photobucket
Yahoo! video
Daily Motion

And play directly just by clicking on the searched links. No youtube file download or conversion programs needed! Just TCPMP, internet browser, and ORB!

BTW, watching TV on the go is pretty d@mned cool! Even after a few months of getting this working.
