We are pleased to announce that we are ready with a first cut Orb version for Mac OS.
Encouraged by the overwhelming response we have had from our Users for OrbLive beta testing, we decided to make available the Mac build to those of you who might be interested in participating in the initial rounds of End Users testing/preview. Mind you, we aren't yet there with all core features of Orb (see below for limitations) and hence the tag "CTP" instead of "Beta".
If you are interested in being part of our extended QA team, then please take a moment to read through the system requirements and current limitations before downloading the build.
System requirements
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 and above running on Intel.
Limitation of the current build (OrbMac 2.50.0037).
No Live TV/ Webcam Streaming.
Limited support on Mobile devices - Works on Smart Phones and PDAs using TCPMP (.pls format), but doesn't work yet on Windows Media Player & on Real Player (most Nokia devices).
Limited availability of iTV/ iRadio Channels.
No UPnP support/ access via Game console/ DMA devices.
Note : Supports streaming to iPhone/iPod Touch via OrbLive.
