iPhone App Lets Users Enjoy & Share Entire HD Media Collection on the Go With Multi-Tasking: Music, Video & Photos
NEW YORK, NY, Aug 25, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
LIBOX, the company rethinking the digital media experience, today
announced the availability of the first in a series of mobile
additions to the LIBOX platform, expanding users' ability to enjoy
and share their entire media collection for free. Now LIBOX users can
enjoy their entire collection of HD video, photos and music while
multi-tasking on their iPhone or while browsing on any mobile device.
On any version of the iPhone, including those running iOS4, users can
instantly enjoy and share their entire media collection, no matter
where it is stored locally, without worrying about storage
limitations. As part of its core values, LIBOX strives to provide the
finest HD media experience without ever charging users to enjoy their
own media collection or ever limiting how much media users can share
with friends and family.
The LIBOX beta service, for desktop and Web browsers, was made
publicly available in June after nearly two years of development. The
patent-pending technology intelligently syncs and streams media to
create a seamless user experience for all types of media, across all
types of devices. LIBOX can offer its service for free thanks to its
innovative peer-to-peer and grid computing platform -- an infinitely
scalable alternative to expensive cloud storage solutions. LIBOX is
out to dramatically advance the consumer media industry by attracting
a robust ecosystem of partners to its distributed platform in order
to enrich the consumer experience with competitive innovation. The
LIBOX beta platform has already seen significant updates based on
extensive user feedback and the API will be available for developers
later this year.
"Carriers are searching for alternate ways to generate consumer
revenues and new ways to monetize the value they can offer consumers
on devices ranging from smartphones to TVs. As companies like LIBOX
develop consumer platforms designed for 3rd party developers that
work across devices, carriers can take advantage of opportunities for
revenue sharing while consumers benefit from a richer HD media
experience," said Irene Berlinsky, senior research analyst at IDC.
"I started LIBOX based on my own needs as a gadget geek, but my
mission is to challenge the status quo for all media fans everywhere.
We all know that we should be able enjoy our full HD media collection
in a better way -- and that current options fall short both in price
and convenience. After more than two years of development, we are
ready for users to kick the tires and let us know what they think of
LIBOX," said Erez Pilosof, founder and CEO of LIBOX.
In addition to being able to play or view your entire media
collection on the go while multi-tasking, the LIBOX iPhone app lets
you capture and share HD media with as many friends and family as you
like through the LIBOX platform. LIBOX apps for iPad and Android are
next on the list with announcements coming soon. In the meantime,
access your LIBOX account from the desktop app, any Web browser and
get the full experience for LIBOX on the most popular mobile
browsers, like Safari and Android.
Pilosof explained, "Now you can listen to any song in your collection
while playing a game or browsing the Web on your iPhone. No need to
think about transferring files, no worries about storage capacity --
and of course we throttle your broadband, too. All you have to do is
sit back and enjoy your HD media."
You can add as much HD video, photo and music as you want via the
iPhone app and it is instantly available to enjoy on any other device
through the LIBOX platform. First download the LIBOX desktop app to
all the computers you want to sync, then add media via the desktop
app or via the iPhone app. View and play your entire media collection
from your LIBOX account through the iPhone app or on any device with
an Android or Safari mobile browser.
Pilosof added, "The mobile additions are just the beginning of the
full experience users will have with the LIBOX platform. We designed
our distributed platform with developers and partners in mind -- to
make it possible to dramatically advance the way people think about
devices and media."
In addition to providing limitless media access and infinite sharing,
the LIBOX iPhone app takes full advantage of the new iPhone 4 and the
multi-tasking features of the iOS4 operating system:
-- Multi-tasking:
-- Fast switch between LIBOX and other apps, picking up where you
left off
-- Listen to audio in the background
-- Get calls while enjoying your media
-- Complete tasks like uploading in the background while you use your
phone for other activities
-- Never-ending Playlist. Enjoy your entire music, photo and video
collection wherever you are, regardless of the storage available on
your iPhone.
-- Intelligent Syncing and Streaming. Add any existing media from your
iPhone to LIBOX and it automatically syncs or streams across all
devices you use to access your LIBOX account based on your usage,
without overloading the storage of any one device.
-- Simple Sharing. Share your media with friends and family -- the easy
way. No email attachments, no uploading/downloading or wires required,
and no limits on how much you share. Just hit the share button and
LIBOX will transfer your media directly to the recipient in its
original HD format without any loss in quality.
-- All Media. LIBOX lets you enjoy all popular media formats for music,
photos and video with "on the fly" conversion. With LIBOX you never
have to think about whether you have the right type of media player.
-- High Definition. Take full advantage of the 5 megapixel camera on the
iPhone 4 by capturing HD video or photos with the LIBOX app. Your high
def media will instantly be synced with all your devices running
LIBOX, in full size and resolution and won't be degraded when you
share it with family and friends. Plus, view all of your HD media on
the iPhone 4 on the great "retina display" screen with 326 dpi
resolution.
