Glide 3.0 is a universal computing platform for Linux, Windows and
Mac PCs, Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPCs)
and Android, Symbian, Palm, Windows Mobile, iPhone and Blackberry
smart phones. Version 3.0 manages a comprehensive universal set of
applications, a personal web portal where users can securely "spin
their own web" and a powerful email and communication hub that
features advanced security and sharing features for consumers. Users
can toggle effortlessly between the three fully integrated
environments throughout the Glide platform. Glide 3.0 features over
100 new features and significant performance enhancements.

Compatibility & Consumer Choice

The biggest impediment to consumer choice when it comes to
purchasing a new computer or smart phone is incompatibility with
previously purchased hardware and software and a lack of support at
work. Consumer choice is limited by proprietary ecosystem traps that
effectively corral consumers into continuing to purchase their
hardware and software as well as IT decisions made by employers.
Thanks to Glide´s automated device recognition, file synchronization
and file translation technology, individuals and families can now
purchase virtually any combination of computers, MIDs, UMPCs and smart
phones and be compatible with each other and with work.

Synchronization for Offline and Online Access

The Glide application suite development strategy is substantially
different from purely browser based approaches. Glide is both: 1) an
online browser based solution; and 2) an offline out of the browser
native solution. Glide´s Save and Sync technology enables users to
work offline or online from any location. A file created or edited
online or offline is automatically synced and saved to online and
offline designated locations. Glide´s native applications are coded in
C/C++ and escape the inherent limitations of the browser when it comes
to performance, supporting advanced functionality and reliability.

With Save & Sync, Glide now offers a comprehensive native
application suite for Linux (both 32 bit and 64 bit) that is
cross-platform compatible. Where pure browser based application suites
come up short, Glide makes it possible to take Linux mainstream and
provide an attractive and powerful alternative to Windows and Mac.

Privacy and Social Networking

The development of Glide OS 3.0 as with its predecessors has
considered the serious consequences of advertising business models
found in online web services (in particular the threat to online
consumer privacy) and developed a viable and sustainable alternative.
In Glide OS 3.0, a user establishes his own personal web space and
sets his own rules of online engagement. Each user can control how
their personal web interacts with the personal webs of others. In
contrast with ad driven online communities, Glide users get to
individually set all of the ground rules and are empowered with
tracking tools to protect their personal information and files.

"2008 will be a good year for online privacy," said Mr. Leka. "We
believe that the era of channeling people into artificial social
networks where the advertising business model driven by the sharing
and selling of personal information determines the rules of human
engagement has run its course. As privacy awareness grows and
alternatives emerge, people are opting to protect their personal
information and interact in a more intuitive and natural way."
