I've been using it for a few days and it works excellent. I read in another forum that orb is going to release a native application into the marketplace soon to make accessing your home music collection easier. I'm currently in san diego, and I'm accessing my music collection that's about 120 miles away.

what you say is true. but, why should we have to leave our computers on to do so? if i want to stream at work, i have to leave my pc on for 10 hours a day on top of it's normal use? racking up my electric bill uselessly. when, on the other hand, i could stream shoutcast all day on my old winmo phone. and could leave my pc off. and i could type into shoutcast specifically what i wanted to hear,be it talk radio,news, or megadeth,lol. i will not be happy untill i have my shoutcast back. i like listening to coast to coast am and various other news\talk programs. can't do that with orb. TMO-GOOGLE- GIVE US WHAT WE WANT! wth i'm paying 300 bucks for my phone,25 bucks a month on top of my bill for internet and expecting my money's worth. soon. very soon. imeem is cool, as someone mentioned. but,if i type in something like,say,metallica, it plays some music totally not in the same genre. shoutcast was much better and had way more choices. as you can see, i miss it badly. so badly,among the many other things(bt stereo,tethering,having access to all my files to delete at will etc) i'm starting to really regret this so called purchase. seems more like i got a revolutionary piece of 80's technology.
