Update: Orb BR - More Information

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Brand new member banzzai brings us an update on Orb BR: With Orb BR Software you can watch all your favorite online content using your PS3.

Hey dudes,

I'm from Orb, checking out what kinda press we're getting so far (not that much apparently) and I feel like maybe some clearer info won't be bad

So the way Orb works is :
- Free Orb server(s) to install on machines where you have your media. It does DNLA so from here you can already stream on your ps3 or any other DNLA.
- Free website to stream your media from anywhere using a web enabled device/pc.
- 10$ smartphone apps (Android's left behind for now but the new version is about to hit the market) to stream on your phone over wifi or phone networks.
- 79$/99$ devices to stream stuff directly on to your hifi/tv
- 19$ BluRay discs to do the same on ps3. We had to split with other BluRay players because some are sloppier and need optimisation. Coming up next.
- FREE apps to pick what you stream on the paying devices from your couch (on iPhone / Android) or from your computer.

As for the internet content (not personal), we have FREE built-in plug-ins streaming Hulu, Hulu +, Netflix, Pandora, Sirius, Amazon, Youtube, Flickr, facebook pictures... Basically trying to do everything, and also released the api for people to add whatever they want (not completely sure we gone public on that yet but I think so).

Questions ?

Thanks for the update banzzai ! So basically, it is like buying an expensive Apple TV, WD TV, GoogleTV, etc, etc, to use with your Playstation 3 with alot more feautures for only $20! But only better!
