Transmedia - provider of the Glide hosted office productivity applications - has introduced a service that enables Mac users to transfer and synchronise any files on their Mac with a range of compatible cellphones.

File transfer and synchronisation takes place via Glide's servers, accessed from a web browser. According to Transmedia, Glide automatically syncs photos, music, videos, documents, iCal calendars, Mac Address Book contacts, and Safari, Camino and Firefox bookmarks, "so you can access virtually all of your digital stuff from your cell phone."

Glide's compatibility engine then serves up files in the proper format and bit rate for access on various devices and for easy sharing.

Mac users can sign up for a free Glide account at http://www.glidedigital.com/ on their Macs or on their cell phones at http://www.glidemobile.com/. A list of compatible phones can be found here.

Glide launched Version 2.0 (beta) of its suite of hosted applications in December 2006, billing it as "elevat[ing] software as a service to the next logical step; full-featured web based applications that rival the power of local desktop applications and at a significantly lower price point."

version 2.0 of Glide comprised: an Online Photo Editor & Print Shop; Glide Write; Glide Presenter Glide Spreadsheet beta supporting advanced formulas and macros was scheduled for release, January 2007.
