Article Summary

November 7, 2005 We rate GlooLabs and its Java-based GlooNet “one of the most likely to succeed” in the mobile space – the Java-based GlooNet allows digital media (music, images, files etc) stored on a home computer to be accessed remotely through any Internet-enabled computer, mobile phone, or PDA. That was before last week’s announcement that global technology giant Siemens has invested in GlooLabs, enabling GlooLabs to expand its product portfolio and ramp-up operations for large-scale customer deployments. Seamless access to personal media and other data has become ultra important in the fast converging computing and home entertainment environments and GlooLabs' architectural approach overcomes the current gap of desktop- and browser-based solutions by allowing end users to retrieve media files stored on various mobile devices and view or play them on any other connected device. GlooLabs' modular platform enables fixed line operators, wireless operators, handset and set top box manufacturers to rapidly bring a wide variety of new products and services to market under their own brand. A public GlooNet demonstration site is available here.
