If like most people you have a whole swathe of media-playing
gadgets in your collection from a Nintendo DSi to a Blackberry to a
PSP, you know how much of a pain it can be to get favoured tunes
and videos from one to another. Now however, there is a solution,
and desktops that were once laden with media managers and converter
programs can all be wiped clean and replaced with one icon; that of
doubleTwist.
DoubleTwist is a new open-source, multi-platform media
management tool created by DVD Jon, a man better known for his
rather nefarious DVD cracking exploits than for legitimate software
development. But in doubleTwist he’s brought his technical nous and
love for openness and transparency, and created something really
rather special.
Using doubleTwist to share your entire music and video
collection amongst gadgets is a breeze, never getting any more
complicated than a simple click, drag and drop. It even knows how
to get that same media up to your favourite social media sites,
including Facebook and Flickr, and allows you to then share your
library with friends signed on to your stream through the free
doubleTwist account. All the technical format conversion and
copying happens behind the scenes. Simply drag and drop and you’re
on your way, and surprisingly quickly to boot.
If you’ve ever wanted to enjoy and share your media without
restrictions, there are few better alternatives to doubleTwist.
Even iTunes starts to look complicated and restrictive in
comparison, and with gadgets such as Palm’s new Pre working
seamlessly with it, doubleTwist could end up taking pride of place
on many people’s shortcut toolbar.
Company product description
Who We Are
doubleTwist Corporation was founded in Oslo, Norway by Monique
Farantzos and Jon Lech Johansen (aka DVD Jon) and is headquartered
in San Francisco. We are backed by several prominent venture
capital firms and individual investors.
The doubleTwist team is distributed between San Francisco and
Tokyo, and consists of people from eight countries, speaking more
than seven different languages, from Japanese to Dutch. We
collectively own more than 200 gadgets and obsessively test every
single one of them with doubleTwist while sending stuff to each
other and to our friends and families around the world.
Why we're here
We started doubleTwist because we were disappointed by the
quality of software applications offered by the major device
manufacturers.
Our vision is simple: to create a unifying media platform that
connects consumers with all their media and all their devices,
regardless of whether they are online or offline.
We feel that just like you don't use a different browser for
every web site you visit (Firefox to read the NY Times, IE to
stream Hulu, Chrome to browse YouTube, etc) you shouldn't have to
use iTunes for Apple products, Nokia software for Nokia phones,
Sony software for Sony products, etc. The typical household today
has many such devices and there is a need for a simple and powerful
software that connects them.
