Adobe Media Player public trials begin
Adobe has said that they have now started testing their Adobe Media Player application through limited public tests.
The company is working with media partners including CBS and Viacom for this initiative.
Adobe would deliver ad-supported subscriptions to TV programs like “CSI,” “Survivor” and “Big Brother” through this program.
The two companies would share the revenues generated through advertising. No more details were provided to the media by the involved companies.

My only complaint is that Adobe acts like a virus.
I did not have Adobe Air installed and when I installed AMP so Air had to be installed as well.
After playing with AMP, and not being able to get any of the CSI stuff to play, I uninstalled AMP. There was no provision to uninstall Air.
I went to the Adobe website and looked through their LiveDocs and they direct you to run the uninstaller located in my /Applications folder. As you can imagine, it is not there.
I download the Air installer hoping to install AIR again along with the uninstaller, but it says my version is up to date and quits.
Adobe does not provide a link to download the uninstaller.
So what makes Adobe different from any other virus that I might pick-up. It it is hidden on my system, I can’t uninstall it, and I don’t know what it is doing in the back ground. Thankfully I have Little Snitch and have denied Air access to the Internet.
I am through with Adobe and I hope it does not make it to my iPhone or my iPod Touch.
Adobe has responded to me and told me that their LiveDocs information was wrong, and since I have posted this comment on the first fifty news items I could find on Google, I think I should follow up with the information they sent me:
“Sorry for the trouble. Please note that Adobe Media Player is an
application built on AIR, so AIR is required to install and use AMP.
The uninstaller is actually located in the /Application/Utilities
folder.”
