Orb's solution streams a person's own content from their home PC using the Web browser and media player of the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet thus creating a "personal media portal" from which users can instantly access and enjoy home photos, videos, music, and even TV, from anywhere, anytime. With MyCasting, consumers can also remotely record TV programs using Orb's Digital Video Recorder (DVR) function and then play back those recorded programs on the Nokia N800.
"The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet was developed to make it easy for people to access their favorite internet sites, content, and entertainment from the couch, airport or coffee shop- anywhere there is WiFi. Orb's MyCasting is an excellent use of the device making it a jukebox of personal media," said Ari Virtanen, vice president, Convergence Products, Multimedia, Nokia.
"Nokia offers a quality mobile web experience for users with the rich functionality being introduced in the N800 Internet Tablet,' said Joe Costello, Chairman and CEO of Orb Networks. "When Orb unlocks that personal digital content on the home PC, the N800 becomes the one connected device to enjoy it all whenever and wherever you want.The combination offers a new level of media freedom and control for the customer."
The MyCasting service which will be demoed on the Nokia N800 at Nokia's booth (# 402) at Web 2.0 Expo this week is free of charge and is immediately available for download from www.orb.com/n800 as well as from the Tableteer site, which can be accessed via the Nokia N800. Using the built in media player and browser, Orb works instantly, so there's no need to download additional software for the N800.
