Wii Users Crazy for Orb MyCasting Service

Orb Networks is reporting more than 50,000 Wii users have downloaded their MyCasting service since the console launched.

Last week we wrote about Orb Networking launching their MyCasting service for the Sony Playstation 3, today the company announced thatthey have received an overwhelming response of downloads for the Nintendo Wii; more than 50,000 to be exact.
So what exactly does the MyCasting service do? It let’s you stream media from your PC to your game console. The MyCasting software is available for free download. Once installed the user creates"channels" in which they can categorize their music, photos, video, TV, documents and other files to playback through their game console.
The secret to getting the service to work on your game console lies within the internet browser. For Wii users, you will need to download the Opera internet browser on your Nintendo Wii. Install theOrb MyCasting software on your PC next, and then access it using the freshly installed internet browser on your game console.
"Wii users are really getting into using Orb: watching YouTube videos and listening to their music on their TVs. But they want a simple interface to make it easier to navigate with the Wiiremote — so we designed one quickly and launched it today," said Joe Costello, Chairman and CEO of Orb Networks. "The experience continues to be about simplicity and when you have 50,000people starting to use your service over such a short period of time, we want them to know we’re listening and responding." You can try the MyCasting software by downloading it at the company’swebsite.
