Nokia is going to integrate Orb MyCasting into the Nokia N80 What is Orb MyCasting? Essentially Orb offers you a way to enjoy your digital media stored on your home computer, via your phone. You can view/watch/listen to home photos, videos, music and even TV, where and when you want.  Orb streams content from your home PC using the Web browser and player on their Nokia N80 Internet Edition.  You can also remotely record TV programs using Orb’s Digital Video Recorder (DVR) function and then play back those recorded programs on a N80.

The new Nokia N80 Internet Edition offers wireless LAN (WLAN), WLAN wizard, web browser, support for internet calls, a 3.0 megapixel camera, and quadband GSM WCDMA, and a host of other internet services not found on other Nokia devices.

Use the integrated Yahoo! Search for finding whatever you need and use the Mini Map function to manage the pages you find.  Browse through thousands of items at Amazon.com, or scroll though a book with Amazon’s MobiPocket Reader. You can also snap a photo and send it directly from your device to your Flickr...you get the point.

The Nokia N80 Internet Edition comes loaded with Nokia’s new Download! client, which allows you to see what new applications are available, as well as keeping other applications current.  The web browser with Mini Map makes browsing the internet the same way that PC web browsers display web pages. VoIP is integrated into the Nokia user interface, and the handset allows for compatible third party internet call applications. The Nokia N80 Internet Edition comes in two colors, patina bronze and pearl black, and is expected to be available from mid-September 2006.
