I used Orb and it looks good, but does anybody know what the downside to it is???? I mean it feels 2 good to be true... anybody else using it?

No downside, except for opening ports on your router. I tried it, but wasn't too impressed (EDGE sucks).

I have it too, I don't count on it though it can be tiresome trying to watch a TV show on it waiting to buffer a few times every few minutes when your not on the high speed, sometimes even when you are due to network congestion. Not as good as slingbox for the longterm.

I use it alot too stream my home webcams to my phone. Works really well , my 5 month old daughter does new things nearly everyday. Wen she does my wife sends a text and I hop on orb and watch almost as if Iwas there. I have two webcams in my home and can see alot of it while I'm away.

I guess WiFi or 3G phones will take advantage of Orb more then others.

Yeah, orb + 3g is great. But im stuck in a mostly EDGE area and i only use it to stream audio.

I guess I'm lucky I am in 3G 95% of the time!

Orb + 3g + FiOS FTW! I love it! Makes me almost not want an iPhone since I have access to over 100gb of mp3s, not to mention that I can tether to my laptop and watch TV on a bigger display.
