Orb Networks debuts live TV app for iPhone

Digital media software and services developer Orb Networks announced a new application, OrbLive, that enables free live streaming TV across Apple's iPhone and iPod touch devices. According to Orb, the iPhone platform's "extreme limitations on supported video formats" prompted the creation of OrbLive, which promises optimized media streaming of any video format over WiFi as well as Apple operator partners' mobile networks. In addition to downloading the OrbLive app, iPhone owners also require a TV tuner card or webcam attached to their PC to view streaming content.
