Speaking of watching TV on your iPhone, Orb Networks claims to have "the world's first way to stream live TV to the iPhone and iPod Touch." The company designed OrbLive, an app created to work with jailbroken iPhones and iPod Touches.
Users install Orb's streaming app on a PC with a TV tuner and OrbLive on their iPhone or iPod Touch. Set the PC the live TV, and you can stream the content direct to your Wi-Fi enable Apple device. Okay, so it's not the most high-tech of solutions, but at least Orb can happy claim "first," right?
Said Orb's CEO, Joe Costello, "Although the iPhone provides users with a great way to experience the Web, it offers a ridiculously sub-par streaming video experience. When all the carriers' free phones can stream lots of things that my iPhone can't, something's seriously wrong. OrbLive finally brings the iPhone's streaming video experience up to par with other mobile phones."
Dag, Steve, are you gonna take that?

Why do you say "Orb claims to have the world's first...", try it! It's all there and real!

As a matter of policy, we do not jailbreak or hack our testing iPhone. We need it in 'retail state' to test with accessories and such. So we can't run any of those apps here.

"Dag, Steve. Are you going to take that?"
Steve will ignore the product, while Apple feverishly "invents"/steals the idea. Steve will then unveil the "approved" Apple product, while claiming that it came to him in a dream, while he was visiting Atlantis and the dark side of the moon with the Dalai Lama.
I wonder if Steve and Tom Cruise ever met each other. The resulting critical mass of B.S. might destroy the solar system...
