doubleTwist Launches Full Release of Its Media Liberation Software
Version 1.0 Includes Video Sync, Web Preview and Expanded Device
Support
SAN FRANCISCO & OSLO, Norway (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) June 15, 2008 --
doubleTwist Corporation, a company devoted to helping consumers liberate
their media, unveils the full release of their popular application,
doubleTwist desktop version 1.0. The latest release incorporates a
number of new features, including video sync, the ability to preview
media received from friends through a browser, and enhanced sync support
for select devices from Motorola, RIM, Apple, Microsoft, Sandisk and LG.
In addition to helping consumers sync their music playlists to a wide
range of devices, doubleTwist desktop now supports most popular video
formats and transparently handles any format conversions needed to
enable playback on several gaming, portable media players and mobile
devices, including the iPod and iPhone.
“Given the diversity of formats and devices in
the marketplace and the increasing popularity of user-generated video,
there is an unmet need to make the process of syncing and sending video
content more intuitive: you shouldn’t have to
be a geek to be able to move your media between your gadgets,”
said Jon Lech Johansen, founder and CTO of doubleTwist.
doubleTwist is also introducing a web-based “media
inbox” that enables users to preview pictures,
audio and video they receive from friends and family. The media inbox
can be accessed through the doubleTwist website enabling users –
and their friends – to enjoy their media
instantly.
Also new to version 1.0 is support for several new devices, including
the Motorola Q 9h, RAZR 2 V9, and MOTO Z9, the Blackberry 8130, 8310,
8320, and 8830 smartphones, Curve 8300 and Pearl 8100 and 8120, Microsoft’s
Zune, the LG Chocolate 8550, Verizon’s
Voyager, and Sandisk’s Sansa players.
Additionally, doubleTwist now supports video sync for Sony Ericsson,
Sony PSP, LG Viewty, Nokia N series, and smartphones on the Windows
Mobile platform including HTC, Palm and Samsung.
“Today’s consumers
demand media portability and no longer tolerate being told how to enjoy
their media. We’ve architected doubleTwist to
be open to all devices and media formats and are continuously working
with consumer electronics manufacturers to enable seamless syncing and
social integration of media,” said Monique
Farantzos, CEO of doubleTwist.
The desktop application, which currently works on Windows XP and Vista,
is available as a free download at www.doubletwist.com.
A MacOS X version is currently in development.
