Orb, a $9.99 iPhone application that should be familiar to home networking buffs, is available now and will stream music from your home computer, photos, and live television from a TV tuner card – all over the Internet. It can even stream input from a webcam to your phone.
The program, not unlike Slingbox, takes media from your home server and passes it through to the application remotely. This means you can watch TV and movies you have stored at home and even keep an eye on the cat remotely.
Ironically, the app only works with PC-based content and tuner cards. Mac and Linux versions are coming soon.
