NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - December 2, 2010) - LIBOX, the company rethinking the digital media experience, today announced a radically simplified process for sharing HD media and a free iPad app. Now you can instantly share complete HD video and photo albums with as few as two clicks of the mouse. LIBOX also introduced significant new features and platform updates to improve the overall performance of the free service, with more developments slated for the coming months.
"At LIBOX, we're focused on making it easy to share your full media collection, across your devices and with your friends -- without compromises," said Erez Pilosof, founder and CEO of LIBOX.
"With vastly simplified sharing and the new iPad app, LIBOX is taking the concept of 'media anywhere' to the next level. We offer a free, unlimited service, across multiple platforms to let users enjoy and easily share their full HD media collection, whenever and wherever they want.
"One of the main reasons I created LIBOX was to challenge the status quo for media fans: a free service that makes it possible to really get the most out of our media collections. No one is doing this the way we are -- and there is still a lot more to come."
The free LIBOX service lets you play, view and share your entire HD media collection -- video, photo, music and documents -- from any device. LIBOX will never limit the amount or type of media you can play and share through your LIBOX account, including media that is shared with you. The patent-pending LIBOX technology intelligently syncs and streams media to create a seamless user experience for all types of media, across all types of devices -- without depending on costly cloud storage. Check out the LIBOX video to see how it works.
