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.
