GlideOS previously popped up on our radar with their Glide Mobile web-app. The web-based application allowed for Microsoft Office document creation and editing on the iPhone (as well as other mobile platforms).
Glide Mobile offers online collaboration on Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Office documents as part of their Glide Mobile suite – which includes Glide Photo Editor, Glide Write, Glide Presenter, Glide Crunch, Glide ad-free email, Glide Groups and Projects, Glide Meeting, Glide Calendar, video Jukebox, Music Jukebox, and Slideshow creator. And, Glide Mobile now comes with 10GB of free online storage to keep all those Word documents, pictures, and PowerPoint presentations safe and sound.
“We are making Microsoft Word document support available today on the 3G iPhone with 10GBs of free online document storage” said TransMedia Chairman and CEO, Donald Leka. “You can easily create, share and collaborate on Microsoft Word documents on the 3G iPhone with automatic desktop synchronization and automatic version control. 3G iPhone users can even collaborate on documents with family, friends and colleagues who have Blackberry (NSDQ: RIMM), Palm (NSDQ: PALM), Symbian and Windows Mobile phones.”
