Orb Networks Adds Intel-Based MIDs to Media Access Service
Posted on: Tuesday, 26 August 2008, 12:00 CDT
Orb Networks, a developer of web application services, has added support for Intel Atom processor Z5XX series-based mobile internet devices to its media access service.
According to the company, with Orb, there's no need to download favorites to a portable device or upload them to a website before leaving home. Since Orb streams content from the PC to a browser, there are no services to buy, files to upload, or time spent waiting to synchronize data.
Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) based on the Intel Atom processor are expected to usher in a new class of devices for mobile access to information and entertainment content. To access their media while they are away, users can simply connect via WiFi or a mobile phone network (3G, 2.5G, etc) to access content on the PC.
Herve Utheza, vice president and general manager of Orb Networks, said: "We live in a very mobile society, and Orb provides a flexible media consuming experience that allows users to play their media while they are away from home with the same simplicity as if they were playing it on the computer where the media is stored. With Mobile Internet Devices, Intel is bringing a high-quality media experience to a new class of hand-held devices, and Orb is making it easy for users to enjoy their music, photos, videos-even live TV-while they are on the go."
Pankaj Kedia, director of global ecosystem programs for ultra mobility group at Intel, said: "Mobile Internet Devices represent a new category of devices that enable mobile users to access their Internet experience on the go. Orb's free Media Anywhere service is a good example of an application that bridges this experience to media and content on the desktop. Intel's innovative Atom processor, combined with Orb Networks's pioneering work in fostering new usage models, strengthens the user experience on these devices."
