AKROBAT  Looks great, nice interface and a host of content...

Pity that it can't play the very content that it hosts.

Save for the cooking channels every other channel and program you try to watch is either unavailable or the 'format is not compatible with Adobe Air'.

Huh? Then why on earth does it feature content that it can't play?

Shame really 'cause I was looking forward to Star Trek, MTV Cribs, The Daily Show etc, etc.

Oh well.  (Version 1.0)

PBARTON  I didn't actually get to the Player itself, instead I watched dumfounded as an embedded downloader in Firefox ('Install' panel/link didn't appear in Omniweb at all) proudly proclaimed that it was 'installing' when all it was doing was downloading. After that step an application launched itself from a temporary directory and proceeded to 'install' Adobe Air, when in fact again all it was doing was actually downloading.

I gave up on this entire opaque process when the temporary launched-with-no-interaction application wanted my OS admin password. As such take my ratings for the 'download' process rather than the app. Give me a proper Mac installer that I actually download and launch myself from the Finder and I might get to evaluate the player itself one day.

I would guess that PC users are used to obscure processes launching themselves in Windows and popping up dialog windows. For me as a Mac user this whole means of installing a simple media player is unacceptable. Total fail Mr. Adobe…  (Version 1.0)

GAMER9ER  Very nice Program. Sleek look, Awe Features, and much more. I rate this a 5/5  (Version 1.0)

SUBFACE  as an application in general, i do feel that there are plenty of video players out there and not much of a reason why i would use this when nearly all the content is available online without much trouble to find (if i were actually looking for it).

but as a flash developer (having worked on video player apps) and a fan of adobe's air product, this is very well done and is a great example of what can be accomplished -- and in a very elegant way.

as for the comments about the installer and UI not being Mac-esc, it's not trying to be. if it were it would have been built in cocoa. i personally like the player design a lot and my only issue is more of with air in that on mac the app has no drop shadow.

but otherwise, adobe, well done!!!  (Version 1.0)
