Adobe Media Player was launched today. My first impression: It rocks. My judgment might have been clouded by the availability of The Twilight Zone though. Either way, that’s awesome! It will probably have a significant impact in the online video realm, so I found it worthy of mentioning here.

Quick commentary: I was just writing an article about how I disliked the movie designs. One of the things I was going to say though was that my opinion could change upon seeing the first real trailer. Well, this completely, utterly floored me. My jaw has hit the ground, my eyes are popping out of my head, etc. I love this! What they showed looked spot-on perfect and I am now officially excited about this movie!
