Nah, there are no security concerns with this! Um, no. I do not think this is going to be a good thing for many mobile phone owners. On the flip side, it will certainly feed the mobile need for a good antivirus!

TransMedia has introduced a service that enables cell phone users to view and share up to 40 gigabytes (GB) of files, including video, music, photos, contacts, documents, and email.

The service introduced Wednesday, called Glide Mobile, works with the Glide Effortless service, which was introduced in December, and with the Glide Music Social Network, which was launched last month (see TransMedia Site Goes Social).

The service aims to take advantage of two fast-moving trends: the growth of social networks and the rapid adoption of broadband services now offered by most major U.S. wireless companies.

Glide Mobile works with phones such as the Palm Treo 700W that use the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. Next month, TransMedia plans to offer support for Motorola RAZR, Nokia series 60, and Sony Ericsson phones. The New York City-based company also intends to add support for other devices, such as PDAs.

The service enables users to share their files with other people, even those who are not Glide subscribers, by sending them a small, 5-kilobyte email message. Clicking on a link in the email enables the recipient to view content stored on the subscriber’s Glide account…. Source: Red Herring
