Default Real Previews New Pocket PC Player

http://www.real.com/realonemobile/download.html

Real appears to have released a preview to v1.1 of their RealOne player for Pocket PCs, with RealVideo 9 support. I've never heard good things about v1.0 of the RealOne player, so maybe this improves things a little for those of you who have Real content you absolutely must play. I'm not a huge fan of Real's technology, but there's still some "Real exclusive" content that forces me to install their player on PCs.

Update: As PPCT readers report, this is not new. ops: Goes to show you how often I install RealPlayer on my Pocket PC. It would be nice if Real actually paid attention to their player and fixed the known problems it has...

I downloaded that about 2 months ago when I got my iPAq. This time, you're actually behind the news Janak! :shock:

It is very strange that My version is 2.0.0.28 in the "about" page(I remembered I installed v1.1), what about yours?

Loaded Real Player on my laptop and it literally overwhelmed my machine, searching for updates, relentlessly offering upgrades, etc. It's off my laptop, desktop, tablet and PPC. Nothing gets loaded on my machines unless I can decide when it can run.

I will not accept anything formatted with Real Player and have learned to live without.

Not a PPC solution but works on the desktop/laptop/tablet.
