TransMedia Launches Glide Cube With 10GB of Free Storage

TransMedia launches the Glide Cube with 10GBs of free storage. The Glide Cube is a new shape and metaphor for the many dimensions of your life providing access to all of your music, video, photos, documents and personal and favorite websites and a secure connection with your family, friends and colleagues. The Glide Cube features powerful networking applications to securely connect with your social and business networks and industry leading productivity applications — all in a breakthrough form factor.

"We are geometrically organizing your life," said TransMedia Chairman & CEO, Donald Leka. "We have effectively miniaturized your entire digital life into a five inch multifunctional Cube and yet it is spacious. Where two dimensional websites fail to provide an integrated web experience, the Cube connects the disparate aspects of your life through a single form factor."

The Cube features:

1. One click access to all of your files and contacts;
2. one click Email, Group and Meeting creation with integrated and secure file sharing;
3. secure access and interaction with the Glide Society;
4. a Rubik’s Cube like visual display of all of your content and contacts; and
5. convergence with the fully integrated Glide OS and Application Suite.

What Makes the Glide OS Different Than Social Networks?
The Glide OS provides:

1. Powerful rights-based tools to protect your privacy;
2. empowering and elegant presentations tools to project yourself online;
3. powerful mobile social networking tools (create documents, edit photos, create personal profiles and personal websites from your mobile phone);
4. no advertising in your personal profile, personal websites, email, etc.;
5. Glide’s social networking tools are part of Glide’s Complete Mobile Desktop Solution giving you one click access to all of your personal files, information, contacts and networks and synchronized with your local desktop computers.
