PacketVideo has launched TwonkyBeam as part of its TwonkyMedia suite of media-sharing software.  TwonkyBeam is a free, downloadble browser plug-in that allows you to stream photos, video, and music from media websites to other devices in your home.  After installing the plug-in to your browser, you can stream content by either right-clicking on it or by using TwonkyBeam’s media panel, which displays all available media on a page.  Right now, TwonkyBeam is only available for Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher for Windows, though according to TwonkyBeam’s website, there are future plans to support Macs and other browsers.  TwonkyBeam is compatible with many popular brands of consumer electronics, including Samsung and Sony HDTVs and Pioneer receivers (a complete list of compatible devices is available on the website).  If your device isn’t on the list, an external digital media adapter will make it TwonkyBeam-compatible.  TwonkyBeam is available for download from the TwonkyBeam website starting today.
