Orb enables you to enjoy streaming all your media without the need to download any application on your client device (PC, Laptop, Mobile phones, PDAs). However in the case of iPhone / iPod Touch, Orb had to develop a client application (OrbLive) due to the lack of native support for RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) or Flash support on these devices, needed to facilitate live streaming and to stream certain video formats that are not iPhone / iPod compatible.

In a nutshell, we decided to sell OrbLive for a small fee in order to re-coup some of the investments made to develop it specifically for iPhone / iPod Touch users.
