Watch BitTorrent Content on IP-Enabled Devices with Orb

Thursday May 22, 2008

BitTorrent is partnering with Orb Networks to allow users to view
BitTorrent downloads on any Internet-connected device.

Installing BitTorrent and the Orb PC application on your computer lets you organize files, create playlists, and share content via e-mail, text, or social-networking site. You can also stream that content to IP-enabled devices like the iPhone, TVs or game consoles.

"People are tired and frustrated with the constraints that the media world has imposed on their ability to consume their own media," Joe Costello, CEO of Orb Networks, said in a statement. "It's your media, it's about time you were able to enjoy it where you wanted."

Two years ago, Orb partnered with TiVo to will allow Series 2 TiVo owners to connect their boxes to the PC, allowing video content stored there to be remotely broadcast to a laptop or mobile device.

The download is available at: Play BitTorrent downloads on your iPhone | Orb Networks.

Hmmm.... I can already play my files downloaded with uTorrent on my iphone with Orb.
OrbLive is monitoring the files in my 'downloads' folder on my computer and it's already easy to just play them back when the download is over using the orb app on my iPhone. How is this different???

Looks like it plays the Bittorent (the company) DRMED files. You can buy moves and tv shows with the bittorrent torrent client. and then use orb to stream them. Doesn't mean any thing to you if you dont buy their DRMED media.
