Push and Pull Data Instantly Between YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, Mobile Phones, MP3 Players, Video and Digital Cameras, the PSP and Other Portable Devices From Any Windows PC With a Browser

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - July 15, 2009) - Today, Dazzboard introduced the first universal media management webtop application that streamlines media synchronization between the online world and portable devices. With instant device recognition technology, Dazzboard connects photos, images, video, music and more on a user's portable device to multiple social media networks and vice versa.

On dazzboard.com, users can simply drag and drop their favorite videos from YouTube onto a mobile device or upload vacation photos directly from a digital camera to Flickr without installing a single proprietary device application or driver. Dazzboard eliminates the need to ever install any device software for media management, breaking down the online and offline walls of data portability.

All-new features include:

  • One-Click Distribution. Send and receive media to and from online services, including Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and more.
  • High Quality. All media from HD Video to high resolution Photos and quality MP3s are supported, with no limits on transfer.
  • Plug and Play. Transfer instantly from Flickr to camera to laptop to mobile to digital frame to ... your toaster, and back again!
  • No Desktop Application. No need for proprietary software to connect your phone, media player or other portable device again.
  • Many devices, One Solution. All major portable devices are automatically recognized.

"We see our webtop app as a kind of 'open iTunes,' allowing for free and easy data flow from various mobile devices to social media accounts and vice versa," commented CEO Tero Salonen. "By streamlining the upload and download process and eliminating the need for installing a variety of proprietary desktop applications for each device, Dazzboard will drastically simplify people's lives."

Dazzboard currently supports Windows XP and Vista, using Internet Explorer versions 6 (XP only), 7 and 8, as well as Firefox 3.0 and 3.5. In the near future, Dazzboard will add support for Mac OS X. The company also intends to release APIs for developers to integrate Dazzboard technology with other websites and develop add-ons to utilize the device connection.
