TransMedia on Thursday announced the launch of Glide Sync and Glide Mobile services for Mac users. The technology enables you to synchronize the contents of your computer online and make it accessible through your smartphone.
Glide automatically synchronizes photos, music, videos, documents, iCal calendars, Address Book contacts, Safari, Camino and Firefox bookmarks on your Mac over the Internet.
Accessing Glide services from your cell phone makes all that content available in mobile fashion; Glide provides a “compatibility engine” that enables your phone to view that content regardless of its native format, at a bit rate the phone can handle.
The Glide service works bidirectionally, as well: It lets you compose documents on your mobile phone, save it and then access it from your Mac later on. Glide incorporates 75 different photo manipulation tools, and will also let you order prints online.
Glide goes beyond just file sharing with your mobile phone, as well. You can use it to send and manage large file attachments using small e-mails — 5K in size — limiting people’s access only to those files you want to share. You can create multimedia Web sites from your cell phone or Mac using Glide, as well, and edit it from either device.
Glide OS 2.0 beta for Mac supports the following phones, according to TransMedia:
