Orb works by installing a client application on your PC. This is left running in the background. To access the content from your mobiel device you log into the My Orb website. You can then view images, and stream music and video to your phone. 

Since the service works via a browser and a Windows PC client it works on most phones including all currently shipping S60 and UIQ phones. 

"The Nokia N80 Internet Edition was developed to make it easy for people on the go to interact with their favorite internet services and content," said Nigel Rundstrom, vice president Nokia Multimedia, North America, "Working with Orb Networks clearly illustrates why Nokia calls Nseries devices multimedia computers.   Using Orb MyCasting with the N80 Internet Edition delivers a complimentary range of experiences that our research* tells us consumers want access to; music, photos, video, email and Internet browsing, all in a single connected device."

 

"What's exciting about this announcement is that it is more than just a bundling partnership," said Joe Costello, chairman and co-founder of Orb Networks. "Nokia offers a quality mobile web experience for users with the rich functionality being introduced in the N80 Internet Edition. When Orb unlocks that personal digital content on the home PC, the N80 becomes the one connected device to enjoy it all.  The combination offers a new level of media freedom and control for the customer."
