their favorite device and share it, socially, with others. Available in Beta

"RealPlayer SP makes it easy for anyone to get online video onto their mobile
phones and other favorite portable devices," said Rob Glaser, CEO of
RealNetworks. "Since 1995, the RealPlayer has been at the center of people's
online audio and video experience. RealPlayer SP now un-tethers that video
experience so people can enjoy video on the go."

"Consumers have embraced mobile devices as being more than capable of
providing a rich, media-intensive experience. Understanding video formats and
management, however, is still far too difficult for most consumers," said
Michael Gartenberg, vice president of Strategy and Analysis at Interpret llc,
a market research firm based in LA and NY. "RealPlayer SP helps solve that
problem with abundant support for multiple formats and devices, allowing
consumers to move content where they choose with only two clicks -- making
this one of the most effective consumer tools for allowing content to flow
with them from screen-to-screen."

For anyone that wants to enjoy their favorite videos while mobile -- whether
it is taking a library of user generated content (UGC) video clips to a party
or showing-off recently captured family video -- RealPlayer SP takes the
guesswork out of the process. Once a video is downloaded, simply select the
make of your mobile phone, portable media player, or games system from the
menu -- and RealPlayer SP automatically does the rest. The same videos can be
shared with friends through Twitter, Facebook, or email with one extra click.
RealPlayer SP also provides customers with new customization options,
including the ability to add device profiles, modify the format and size of a
video, and create audio-only files, helping to ensure the best mobile video
experience for their specific device. RealPlayer SP works with the device's
existing media player so no additional download is required to the device.

RealPlayer continues to be one of the most popular digital media applications,
with more than 350 million installations worldwide in the last twelve months.
In addition to playing all major media formats, either from within the
RealPlayer application or as embedded within popular Web browsers like Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, RealPlayer was the first major
media player to enable one-click downloading of Web video.

People around the world enjoy digital entertainment like music and video from
a wide variety of sources using RealPlayer.
