Thoughts On Adobe Media Player

I downloaded Adobe Media Player yesterday and although I didn't get a chance to fully check it out I do have to say I'm pretty impressed. Overall the UI is pretty pleasing (though the fade effects are a bit choppy on my machine). There doesn't seem to be a ton of content just yet, but I'm sure that will come in time. I'm intrigued by the 'offline' viewing capabilities. That should definitely come in handy when travelling.

I have to admit, I'm pretty excited about these on demand internet movie/tv technologies that are coming out lately. hulu is another one that is pretty cool. I even went out and picked up an extra long HDMI cable which I hook up to my XPS laptop so I can watch on my HDTV. The quality is not quite 100%, but just the fact that I can watch programs and movies when I want to on my regular TV with very limited commercial interruption is very cool.

Eric Cobb's Gravatar HULU had me hooked at The Simpsons!

Dan Vega's Gravatar Hulu is just flat out awesome! If they actually start updating it and adding full seasons to there TV section it will be even better. I have not downloaded Adobe Media Player yet, I will have to give it a try

todd sharp's Gravatar Yeah The Simpsons seems to be hulu's 'big get'.

AMP is cool - they don't have much - and much of what they have just appears to be 'clips' - but I see great potential.

Would be sweet to get some sports archives up on one of them. I know hulu has _some_ old sports games, but a full library would be sweet!
