Glide OS 3.0 will offer new mobile applications for the 3G iPhone (which of course hasn’t even been officially announced). In lieu of next week’s anticipated 3G iPhone announcement, TransMedia is making available its bi-directional synchronization and rights based business collaboration applications for the iPhone.
Glide is a mobile desktop solution featuring more than 20 productivity and collaboration applications. It’s available in 18 languages including English, Albanian, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai and Turkish.
Glide will sync the 3G iPhone with Macs, Windows, Solaris and Linux and computers, as well as Android, Blackberry, Palm, Symbian and Windows mobile phones. Files edited on these computers and phones are automatically synchronized, accoring to TransMedia Chairman and CEO, Donald Leka. Glide’s synchronization solution is the first to not only bi-directionally synchronize files across all platforms but to provide automated version control and file transcoding based on device recognition for cross platform compatibility, he adds.
With Glide’s new Sync application called One, users can automatically synchronize all of their files including video, music, documents and photos to and from all major platforms with support for over 75 mobile phones. In another first, Glide also enables rights based file synchronization
across user accounts for secure online and offline social and business networking through the new Glide Groups application.
A Glide Group is a place where family, friends, students and colleagues can network, communicate, share information and collaborate. Glide Groups works in tandem with Glide’s synchronization technology enabling friends, family and colleagues to remain in sync. All files added by users and file edits whether they’re made online or offline are automatically replicated across all targeted online and offline synchronized group locations. Assignable rights control how files and groups are accessed.
Glide’s synchronization technology also works in tandem with Glide’s version control, maintaining records and access to previous drafts. All file edits are automatically replicated across all targeted online and offline synchronized locations. Another new feature called Glide Spider is a file location tracking system. Spider identifies the location of all copies of a file and who has file access with the ability to change or revoke access rights. Finally, Glide’s synchronization technology works together with Glide’s device recognition and file transcoding technology.
