That measly 8GB iPhone drive fills up pretty quickly which means you have to constantly shuffle around the music and videos you have on your iPhone every time you sync. And it only gets worse as your media library continues to grow. We feel your pain and have a possible solution for you if you have a PC at home that is always connected to the net via Wi-fi or cable. MyCast from Orb automatically checks the bandwidth, screen size and resolution of your viewing device and optimizes the digital content for your device and connection speed. Orb turns your PC into a secure media streaming portal where you can access your entire library of music, photos, and videos from Safari on your iPhone or iPod touch. Orb will even stream tv and can also double as webcam home security system. It’s easy to set up and best of all, it’s free.
Like we said, Orb requires an “always on” home PC and doesn’t currently support Mac. However, you can access your PC media using any device to connect, include a Mac, iPhone, iPod touch, game console (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3), or any other mobile device with a streaming media player. You simply download and install Orb on your PC, and after a quick set up you point your mobile device to mycast.orb.com and log in. Or automatically checks the bandwidth, screen size and resolution of your viewing device and optimizes the digital content for your device and connection speed. There is nothing to download to your iPhone or iPod touch and no configuration required. Orb 2.0 also features an optimized interface for mobile Safari which makes the experience so much easier.
Once you have Orb running on your PC you won’t have to fuss with moving your files around in iTunes since you’ll have access to everything, including documents. You can also share your music, photos, and videos with your friends. And if your PC has a tv tuner card, you can access live tv from your iPhone or iPod touch. Even without a tv tuner card you can stream Orb’s built-in internet tv channels.
