Free New Service For iiPhone Eliminates Syncing with iTunes

Free New Service Eliminates Syncing with iTunes

Orb Networks (http://www.orb.com) today announced that you can now
play your PC music collection on your Apple iPhone or iPod touch
without having to sync with iTunes. Responding to a user study that
found repeated syncing of the iPhone to a PC to be 'a pain in the
ass,' Orb(R) enables users to play their PC music on their iPhone or
iPod touch from anyplace they have a wireless Internet connection,
right away.

"Wait, so, no more syncing? Just hit play?" asked Allison Logue, 18-
year-old iPod owner from Fallbrook, California. "That's like having an
iPod the size of your PC hard drive."

Here's how it works: install the free Orb application on the Windows
PC where you have your music. Then go to the free service at
http://mycast.orb.com from the native Safari browser on your iPhone or
iPod touch to play what you want right from your PC.

"What kind of robot always decides ahead-of-time what songs they're
going to be in the mood for when they're away from their PC?" asked
Joe
Costello, CEO of Orb Networks. "Don't sync some. Stream all."

Orb also enables you to send your friends text messages with links to
your PC music.

"With Orb, you can rock the inbox of your friends' iPhones... and any
other phone with a Web connection and streaming media player," said
Ian
McCarthy, VP of Product Marketing at Orb. "Don't just text about the
music.
Share the experience of the music."

Yep, I've been doing this for quite some time now. When are you gonna
realize that ANYTHING you can do on an iPhone, people have already
been doing on WinMo phones? Even the junk web apps that you like to
brag about, can all be run from a WinMo phone. But really, who would
do that when most of them are just ports of native PPC apps.
