	Pretty sure that's been out for a while. I've been getting it for free though, I think I must have signed up for the beta version? Anyway, I suggest this program to anyone who does not have an expansion card. It works very well for me; It takes less than 4 seconds to buffer and start playing your music. It's pretty sweet.

	How is your buffering speed with Orb? Mine is a bit inconsistent, to the point that I can't really call it a substitute for a separate MP3 player or songs stored on the Q. I live in Chicago, too, where I have good EVDO coverage. Any tips?
