GlideRemember Glide, the online operating system that also works on mobile phones, include the iPhone? Well, they’ve just added Windows Media Audio and Video support to the Apple’s handset. To be honest, I’m not quite sure how this works — my guess is that they somehow convert the audio and video clips to an appropriate file format which iPhone can read.

In total, Glide Mobile now supports 8 audio and 8 video formats for the iPhone, including .wmv, .mpg, .mpeg, .avi, .divx, .mov, .mp4 and .3gp on video; and .wma .wav, .au, .mp3, .m4a, .aiff, .aac and .ac3 on the audio side. The maker of the online OS also said that all supported formats include EDGE and WiFi network version. In the other news, we keep encouraging you to watch video on WiFi connection only… :)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Why don’t just use PC convertor?

    Yeah, that’s also the valid option, but this is solution while on-the-go.
