The folks behind Orb, the application/service that allows you to stream content from your PC to other devices, just announced the iPhone support. Now Apple handset’s users are able to access all the content from their PC — including TV — to their shiny device. Naturally, iPod Touch is also supported but it is required, however, that both iPhone and/or iPod are jailbroken. And while we have nothing against that — on the contrary, we support iPhone being totally open — I’m curious to see how will Apple react to this. I guess Orb could argue this is just a temporary solution, until the new firmware with third-party apps becomes available. In the meantime, you can grab OrbLive from “Multimedia” menu in the Installer.app, or check out the short video demonstration of Orb in “iPhone action” after the jump.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
