OrbLive iPhone application - play any video on your Apple gadget

While Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch have an impressive library of multimedia assets to offer via iTunes, the inability to play your own choice of media files without proper workarounds can still be an unwanted inconvenience at times. Fortunately, Orb Networks officially announced its recently released its new OrbLive iPhone application will change all of that.

The new downloadable application will allow users to enjoy video subject matter in any format - downloaded BitTorrent files, TiVo-to-Go files, DivX, Mov, MP4, even habitable video and TV streams. OrbLive, along with the free Orb Media Center app on your PC, will give everyone access to all the media from that PC even while you’re absent.

Before you know it, Apple is going to be like that soup guy on Seinfeld. ‘No Tivo for you!’

The OrbLive iPhone application can be downloaded through the link found on the source link we’ve provided below. Just remember that that program will only work on jailbroken iPhones and iPod touches. You can additionally view a video featuring OrbLive in one of our preceding articles.
