Software company TransMedia Corporation has announced the availability of advanced
synchronization and remote access services for Mac users with certain
phone models. The software, called GlideOS 2.0 Beta contains two major
applications: Glide Sync and Glide Mobile.
Both allow users
to synchronize contacts, photos, calendar entries, music, videos, data,
and bookmarks from Safari, Camino, and Firefox on the host Mac over the
air using the phone’s data connection.
From the press release:
“Traditionally, Mac users have had to jump through hoops to use third
party devices and software,” said TransMedia Chairman and
CEO, Donald
Leka. “No longer. Now Mac users can glide effortlessly
between their
cell phones and Macs.”
The service also offers hosted file access with on the fly conversion
to compatible formats for each phone for easy retrieval and sharing of
files. The services also allow for document creation
direct from the device without the need to save and email to continue
at home or work as well as photo manipulation, and creation of webpages
on either Mac or the mobile device. Read More for a list of supported
devices.
