No, in future the new frontend interface and backend structure allows the Orb user to make Orb MyCast an even better and personalized experience then it was before by adding dynamic content. The first was a simple RSS feed fetcher (nearly standard for all start pages today) but now, Orb Networks reached the next level of customization and enabling mobility by enhancing Orb MyCast to playback (or better stream) YouTube, Google and Dailymotion videos on mobile devices like mobile phones and PDAs. While YouTube has the mobile enhancement on its agenda for next year or so, Orb users can start right now and it couldn't be easier."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/orb_mycast_orbthis2.gif" /><br /><br />I'm a fan of Orb, and a fan of YouTube, so this is a cool marriage of two excellent technologies. Has anyone tried this yet? If so, how did it work for you?
