Glide provides Windows Media support for the iPhone

The iPhone can do pretty much everything. Yesterday, reports from Indonesia said that an iPhone had swooped from the sky and saved a small child from a devastating landslide. But despite all the heroics, there was still one thing the iPhone couldn’t handle. That, of course, is Apple kryptonite, the dreaded Windows Media format. Finally, some relief. Glide Mobile announced that it will now offer new format support for the iPhone, and can handle almost all the formats of the rainbow, including Windows Media.
We talked about Glide Mobile before, and now with this advancement there is even more reason to sign up. TransMedia CEO Donald Leka had this to say: “The EDGE network is not ideal for the cutting edge iPhone.” He claims that Glide is a much better option and automatically adjusts the video to suit the connection speed. The burning question that he doesn’t answer however, is whether or not the “cutting edge” comment about the EDGE network was an intentional pun or not. Because doesn’t the Supreme Court ruling commonly known as “The Cheesy Dad Law” state that when you make an awful pun you have to clearly say “pun intended” or acknowledge the mistake? That should be punishable by death. Go get Glide now.
3rd party Microsoft Exchange service for iPhone now shipping

While the iPhone’s place in the business world is an evolving story, Synchronica has added their own chapter by shipping v3.0 of their Mobile Gateway service, adding support for Apple’s shiny new phone to synchronize email with Microsoft Exchange. This could allow many a corporate user to finally justify that iPhone purchase to their boss, now that they can both send and receive email on it without needing to install software or being behind a firewall. Speaking of security, messages are sent over encrypted IMAP/SMTP and secure HTTPS connections to the Microsoft Exchange server, so it sounds like things are locked down pretty tightly.
Synchronica’s iPhone-enabled service is available now with a 60-day free trial, though the demo signup page explains that the company has apparently been bowled over with requests since announcing iPhone Exchange compatibility. If you’re still interested in exploring your chances of getting the boss to add an iPhone to the company’s expense account, you can sign up to be notified when normal service resumes and you can get in on the action.
