I’ll have to add this on my “to do after CES” list because there’s just no time to play right now. My busy schedule doesn’t mean you can’t give WeBot a try though. It’s a free beta and works similar to Orb in that it can stream your digital media from a computer to your iPhone or Nokia Internet Tablet through a web browser. Tunes are 128 kbps stereo and it appears to be MP3 support only for now. Based on the set bitrate, you’ll likely have issues using EDGE on the iPhone for this, so WiFi is the much safer bet.To use WeBot, you first have to install the Java-based WeBot on your computer for Windows, Mac or Linux. After that, you’ll pick and choose what content you want to share and that’s about it. Since the content is shared through a web-browser interface, you can placeshift your media to a full computer as well. Depending on browser support, I wonder if it works on Symbian, Windows Mobile and Palm?(via IntoMobile)
