Linux RealPlayer 10 gold in Europe and Asia

On Wednesday,  Real will announce the immediate release of 13 new free 
versions of the RealPlayer 10 for Linux and Mac OS X for the Europe and 
Asian markets.  These releases coupled with a new distribution partnership 
with <http://www.redflag-linux.com/eindex.html>>Red Flag Software help 
solidify the RealPlayer as de facto media player for Linux, and points to 
another development success for the Helix Community.

Specifically, the nine new versions for RealPlayer 10 for Linux are: 
Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, 
Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).  The four new versions of RealPlayer 
10 for Mac OS X are: French, German, Spanish and Japanese.

This is important news for content creators for two reasons:
  i) Only RealAudio/RealVideo 10-based content can reach all Windows, Mac 
and Linux desktops, as well as the fast emerging mobile device operating 
systems, such as: Symbian, Palm OS, and embedded Linux.
  ii) For the first time, Mac-based content creators can use the gold 
version of RealPlayer 10 for Mac OS X to preview their multi-platform 
RealAudio/RealVideo 10-based work on the same Mac they author their content 
on – thus mitigating the need to spend time previewing their content on a 
separate PC.

The free RealPlayers be downloaded from: www.real.com/mac and
