Adobe Systems on Wednesday released its free AIR-based Media Player 1.0 along with a new Adobe TV network. Adobe said the customizable, cross-platform player provides "exciting new ways for viewers to discover and interact with their favorite content" in addition to offering brand-building and revenue opportunities for publishers.

AIR 1.0 runtime, released in February, allows developers to use "proven web technologies to build rich Internet applications" for the desktop and across operating systems, according to Adobe.
