Out With the Old Desktop and in With the New: Glide Effortless Featuring a Brand New Patent Pending Bubble Interface, the First Complete Overhaul of the Desktop in More Than 20 Years
What is Glide? Glide is effectively twelve software and service environments integrated in a single online application, providing powerful creation, communication, sharing and e-commerce features only made possible by Glide's integration and online compatibility. Glide's twelve integrated environments include Glide Photos, Glide Music, Glide Video, Glide Docs, Glide AllMedia, Glide Contacts, Glide Calendar, Glide Timeline (Glide's action oriented search engine), Glide Mail, Glide Cast (video, audio and text conferencing), Glide Share and Glide Shops. Glide is browser based, and supports all major platforms (PC, Mac, Linux) and all major browsers (Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera). No software installation or configuration is necessary to preview and share media and communicate. Consumers just log on to http://www.glidedigital.com. Glide's built in trans-coding engines creates universal compatibility between users by automatically creating streaming browser-based previews of virtually all major document, image, audio and video file types imported. "TransMedia's emphasis on compatibility and integration have produced incredible capabilities that are simply unavailable from other software vendors," said TransMedia Chairman and CEO Donald Leka. For example, Glide users can share and experience music playlists, video playlists, product information and ads in real time with anyone that has a browser and an internet connection by simply dragging and dropping these assets into a video or text conference. It's been more than 20 years since the desktop has been completely overhauled. The last time was back in 1984 with the introduction of Apple's Macintosh computer operating system. TransMedia is turning the Desktop on its head with a new patent pending user interface: the Glide Action Bubble(TM) and Active Feedback Screen. Glide is designed to be accessible on any device: PC, cell phone, PDA and set top box. In an effort to provide a consistent and simple interface across devices, Glide's proprietary navigation system replaces traditional menu lists, toolbars and top, left, right and bottom navigation. Glide replaces traditional navigation concepts with the Glide Action Bubble linked to Glide's Active Feedback Screen, which provides users with continuous feedback. Users simply hover and an action bubble appears displaying only the options available. Glide is scheduled to be launched to the consumer market on November 15th for the PC version and will be available at http://www.glidedigital.com. The Mac version will be available on Christmas Day, December 25th. TransMedia is transforming the economics of software and online services. There are three packages for consumers: 1) Glide Premium: $9.95 monthly / 99.95 annually - includes all 12 environments with 2GB of storage 2) Glide Standard: $4.95 monthly / $49.95 annually - includes all environments (except video and audio conferencing) with 750MB of storage 3) Glide Free: Includes Glide Mail, Glide Contacts, Glide Shops, Glide Photos, Glide Music, Glide Video & Glide Docs with 50MB of storage Introducing: Glide Network, Your Vision TransMedia is very pleased to announce it will launch The Glide Network, Your Vision in Q1 of 2006. The Glide Network will be available through the Glide Effortless Interface on PC's, Cell Phones, PDA's and later in the year on digital cable set top boxes. The Glide Network will feature a combination of News, Entertainment News, Interactive Online Shopping, Music Videos, On Demand Movies and original programming. In today's increasingly hectic and fast paced lifestyle, more consumers have a need for on-demand programming that they can customize. The Glide Network provides powerful interactivity enabling users to customize content offerings, participate in interactive communications and share and receive information. For example, consumers can create programming playlists and share with their friends. A news segment may include a link to a related video or text conference with the ability to access and share additional information. TransMedia will have additional announcements and news pertaining to Glide Effortless and the Glide Network on December 7th, 2005.
