Orb Networks has added support for Intel (News - Alert) Atom processor Z5XX series-based mobile Internet devices to its media access service making it easier for users of Moblin-based mobile linux devices to find and enjoy content from their PC while on the go.

 

Orb Networks says that, based on the Intel Atom processor, MIDs are expected to usher in a new class of devices for mobile access to information and entertainment content.

 

Users who want to access their media while they are away, can simply connect through WiFi (News - Alert) or a mobile phone network to access content on the PC.

 

Herve Utheza, vice president and general manager of Orb Networks, said that 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.

 

According to Utheza, Intel is bringing a high-quality media experience to a new class of handheld devices with mobile Internet 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 Intel Corporation’s Ultra Mobility Group, said that mobile Internet devices represent a new category of devices that enable mobile users to access their Internet experience on the go. He believes Orb’s free Media Anywhere service is a good example of an application that bridges this experience to media and content on the desktop.

 

Kedia said that Intel’s innovative Atom processor, combined with Orb Networks’ pioneering work in fostering new usage models, strengthens the user experience on these devices.

 

Orb Networks is a developer of software and services that unlock the digital media stored on personal computers. Orb gives consumers secure, free, instant, and everywhere-access to everything from their TV and music, to photos and video on virtually any Web-enabled device.
