Orb Networks has recently released updated version of OrbLive 2.0, featuring tons of improvements made in response to feedback from their users. Some of the enhancements include:
- Record live media – this doesn’t include just TV program, but Internet TV/radio stations and webcams, as well.
- Search to easily access content – new text search capability makes it easy to find what you want quickly and easily.
- Manage favorites – so you could easily return to your favorite media later.
- Enhanced playback – zoom-in on content while playing, on-screen controls help you rotate to landscape mode.
OrbLive enables iPhone and iPod Touch users to play anything — music, photos, video, webcams — that’s on their home PC. The company first launched its iPhone app before an official SDK was released. Later, when Apple opened up the platform, Orb followed with an improved app that worked on non-jailbroken devices, too. Since then, OrbLive and OrbLive Free have been downloaded by more than 200,000 customers.

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.
