We are happy to announce the launch of Orb apps (OrbLive, OrbLive Free, OrbMedia, OrbMusic) for Android Powered devices. The primary objective of developing these client apps is to enhance the overall streaming experience on Android devices.

OrbLive Free - a light version of OrbLive with 3 random pieces of media in each category for you to enjoy before you buy the paid OrbLive app.

OrbLive - streams everything including internet TV, internet radio, Live TV* and webcam from your Orb PC / Mac**.

OrbMedia - streams video, audio, pictures and documents from your Orb PC / Mac.

OrbMusic - exclusive for music lovers which will stream almost all audio formats from your Orb PC / Mac.

Interested? Try out OrbLive Free on your device before you go ahead and purchase one of our Apps.

Please give us your feedback.

*You need an Orb compatible TV tuner in your PC
**No Live TV support on Mac

Yay! Except...I can't find it. It's not coming up in the market yet. Been waiting anxiously for this though...my money is as good as yours! Just need to be able to get it.

It does not work at all on the nexus one.
Force close when you try to start any kind of stream (video, music, anything). but you probably know that from the feedback on the Market.

works on my tmobile mytouch3g

just cant get it to stream live tv on 3g, only works on wifi, but my music streams on 3g, confusing

congratulations, you beat slingmedia to the punch!

Confirmed, any type of stream causes the program to force close on the nexus one.

Bump. Does not work on my N1. Same FC when trying to stream.

Yea just tried, sucks it doesn't work on the newest phone "Nexus"...Just like ustream dosent work either for streaming. Sad that they already have a price up there, instead of just a beta. SMH

Can you guys post links for people without paid apps in their market(ie. Canadians). I guess we'd have to pay with cc or paypal but without an alternative method we can't get paid apps.

edit: so I just started using the orb live free app for the G1. The app looks very iphoneish but that's alright, however I did notice when entering my username/password the screen did not auto rotate.

The same for Acer Liquid (aka A1 or S100). it has the same resolution and processor as NX1

I am using the Motorola Droid.

App looks good, but I don't like the iPhone looking controls at the top. The Droid (and ever Android phone I can think of) has some sort of back button.

I downloaded the free version. The app seems to connect, but when I click to play a video, it just says "Failed to Stream Media". I am still testing.

EDIT: I got a video to start playing. The video was very grainy compared to using a web browser and downloading an .sdp (?) file. I tried to get the controls (pause, play, volume, etc.) to pop up by tapping the screen. Few seconds later the controls popped up. Tested the volume slider, worked fine, no lag. I tried to skip forward by dragging the other slider. Froze the app for a minute, then popped up "Failed to stream media". After another dozen attempts to play the same file, I can not get it to play again.

EDIT 2: When in widescreen, the controls to not expand to the full width of the Droid (because of higher resolution). Not a big deal, the controls are fully functional and readable, just not the best.

I hope this information helps. I love Orb, but it is a PITA to use the web browser.

I wish I could even use it in the web browser. Brand new Samsung Moment Android 1.5. Everything I play in the web browser or in the OrbFree App will play audio, but no video. Upgraded from a 5 year old PPC-6700 Win Mob device that worked perfectly. Odd?

I can certainly try and help you, if you could provide more details like exact file type you are trying to stream, Orb version installed on your PC / Android, what happens when you stream those videos on your Orb PC via http://mycast.orb.com, etc.

Using siriusxstreamer and love it. I currently have the free orb live program. All I care about is my sirius streaming -can I use just the 99 cent orb music app? Or does orb music not do radio? Do I have to buy the $9.99 orb live program?

Yes, you need OrbLive. Before you buy, make sure that you are able to stream those interent radio channels via Orb on your PC.
