Adobe Media Player
Between iTunes, Hulu, Xbox Live, BBC iPlayer, Joost, and network websites, we might need to add four to five additional hours to the day in order to take in all the streaming content blasting through the internets these days. Adobe - who’s AIR self-contained platform is beginning to make some waves - unleashed the Adobe Media Player this week, which adds another streaming content application to the mix. Upon first glance, it offers a solidly designed interface, but it’s got some ways to go; you’re presented with a largely bare canvas before realizing that you have click on the “catalogue” button to find anything new. Contentwise, it’s just getting started, so there are a handful of video blogs and Viacom properties (like MacGyver!), and the video is well compressed. For now, it has nowhere near the navigational ease of iTunes or Hulu, but it excels beyond the organizational mess of Xbox Live’s video store and the indecipherable blast of generic icons and boxes of Joost.
