Ah — but the partnerships highlighted in the article are specifically for the upcoming Adobe Media Player product.

There are only 2 Premiere Authorized Partners:-
Akamai and Limelight.

If you search Adobe’s site you can see the following:-

Maximus? The Limelight rep that keeps calling me promising to undercut my current CDN's price in half? Is that you, Maximus?

Please focus on getting the stock price back up rather than looking for free press.

Wow Maximus, thanks for that scathing comment. However, Adobe never mentioned Limelight as a partner in the multiple communications I had with them about the announcements. Can you provide a link to news about the “other CDN partners”?

Interesting to see your post neglected to mention Limelight Networks (who are the #2 biggest Content Delivery Network) off your supposedly "full" list of partners for this new player -

You are simply re-hashing an Akamai press release that went out yesterday that failed to mention quite a few 'other' CDN partners.....

How can we trust you if you don't check your facts before posting stuff on your blog ?

FYI, the “Adobe Media Player” link doesn’t link anything…
