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.

The Samsung Stratosphere SCH-I405 has leaked and it pfirst LTE phone on Verizon with a QWERTY keyboard

The leaked renders of this QWERY slider come by way of PocketNow who claim that the device could arrive as early as this week.

Verizon has yet to deliver a 4G LTE-compatible smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard, but the upcoming Samsung Stratosphere SCH-I405 could change all that.

An earlier leak from Android Central leads us to believe that the device will include an “awesome” screen (Super AMOLED Plus perhaps) with a 5 megapixel rear camera, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera and Android 2.3.4 on board. 

Not much to go on, but if the rumor holds true we should know more very very soon.

At any rate, this device should arrive at a more affordable price point for those who don’t need big slates like the Droid Charge, HTC Thunderbolt, LG Revolution or the upcoming Droid Bionic.
