Following on from the last blog I wrote, I thought it only fair to go and have a nose around the Player X website. What I actually found was some pretty decent video content titles – and impressively, it looks like they have done something with them in a number of instances – case in point: Knight Rider!
Now I don’t know about all of you, but I grew up watching the exploits of Mr Michael Knight, and on occasion, his dodgy evil twin Garth (all that seemed to separate them was a dodgy stick-on ‘tache!). And what about Devon, and then Bonnie – who sadly got replaced by April! Yes, I know some of you now are reminiscing about the car who out-acted the actor!
So anyway, I digress – Player X have some great content, including Family Guy (the funniest thing on TV), Morph, Transformers, She-Ra (!), and well…LA Urban Defender – and I’ve not even started on the games!
Anyways, I highly recommend a trip over to their site, even if it is to get a taste of some retro funk mobile video goodness, via their Flash player samples…..
About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
