Orb Live allows you to stream Hulu content, and more for your Android device, without an order

The Orb Live app has arrived in the Android Market at a price of $ 9.99 – allows users to stream media like Hulu from their PC on their Android phone without needing a subscription Plus.

Another feature of media streams Netflix, YouTube and ESPN 3, but you’ll also be able to play videos and music from your hard drive of your computer and even live TV (with tuner) on 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi.

The version of IOS Orb Live has been out for several months, but Orb as a company is present on the edge of their transmission controversal products for some time.

According to GigaOM, Orb says that the Android device above 1.6 should work with the application, but try GigaOMs shows that you may encounter some problems with delay, if the phone is underpowered.

Note that Netflix has opened its application streaming to users of Android 2.2 and 2.3, meaning that the vast majority of Android users now have access to their content, reports TG Daily.

It is also important to note that, without more, a subscription is rather disappointing Hulu today. And when the content of Starz Netflix loses next year there will be more worth looking there.

Also, you want to keep an eye on the use of their bandwidth with an application like Orb streaming data can be eaten at an alarming rate.

Android App Review: ScreenCast & Screen Recorder

By , 8 September, 2011, No Comment

 Recording what’s happening on your Android device’s screen has always been a bit of an anomaly. There options were few and far between (one, two tops) and the frame rates you’d get from them weren’t top-notch. Then, all of a sudden, like a beacon of hope and progress towards a better future, ScreenCast & Screen Recorder appeared.

ScreenCast & Screen Recorder is as simple to use as they come. Hit the big red record button on the main screen and you’re good to go.

There also are a couple of settings in ScreenCast & Screen Recorder, like the ability to choose normal or high quality, pick the frames per second you want to record at, or define the default file name for your videos. It’s pretty bare, but it doesn’t need to be comprehensive. They are just screen recordings, after all.

There’s also a built-in gallery where you can open and watch your videos, but be assured, everything still shows up in Android’s gallery, too. Rounding it all out is the benchmark options, which stress tests your system to try and see what the maximum fps you can record at is.

ScreenCast & Screen Recorder doesn’t do live streaming nor can it take screesnshots, but the developers says those are both features being worked on.

ScreenCast & Screen Recorder has both a free version and a paid version for $2.99. The free version is merely to let you see how the app works (and that it works at all) and only lets you record 15 seconds of video. Spring for the real thing and pay the three bucks. It’s totally worth it.

Download links are after the break.
