As mobile devices
increasingly consume our daily lives, we’re looking for more ways to
control when, where, and how we access our personal media. Have you
heard of Orb Networks’ concept of MyCasting? MyCasting gives you the
freedom to view your home-based media from virtually anywhere in the
world on any Web-enabled mobile device. Think of it as the opposite of
broadcasting, letting you remotely access and watch not only your live
or recorded home and Internet TV, but also your music collection,
videos, photos, podcasts, and virtually any other digital content
stored on your home PCs.

The Orb service provides free, instant enjoyment of all your digital
media from any web-connected device, be it a mobile phone, PDA or
laptop. It’s simple to use: There’s no hardware or additional software
to purchase or load on any mobile devices; a quick download to the
user’s home always-on PC is all that’s required to start MyCasting.
Simply open a Web browser on a computer, laptop, PDA, or cell phone,
log in, and select what you want to view or hear from your personal
library. Orb takes care of the rest. Based on the device, Orb
determines the best format, codec, bit rate, display capabilities, and
network bandwidth. Orb streams content at the highest quality available
to you, providing the best possible experience the device and bandwidth
can support.

It’s free. Check it out at the Orb Web site.
