Adobe’s New Media Player
April 18th, 2007
Adobe has introduced its new media player, which is part of its Creative Suite 3, at the National Association of Broadcasters show.
It not only allows you to play standard files, it also lets you download, store, and play flash videos much more easily.
By easing the process of downloading, it makes it easier to play locally and not stream everytime it is played.
The starter page presents the user with a great number of options, including new videos, RSS, and your “catalog” of videos.
Also, the user interface is very intuitive and easy to change. It is possible to custom skin the player depending on the video.
However, there is one downside. It lets the owners of the video to embed advertisements into the video, even when you are offline!
The initial release will be on the Mac and PC. They hope to have it on mobile devices also soon.
The public beta is scheduled for Fall, as a 1.0 release.
