Adobe released on Tuesday the first Reader application to bake movies and animation into the Portable Document Format.

With Adobe Reader 9, users can play Flash movies, Shockwave animation, and other rich media content without needing to open a third-party player.

well, the new one starts up pretty quick...as fast as foxit, i can say....but then again, adobe reader is becoming bloatware and i just tried for the sake of trying it...me sticking to foxit reader...

Thanks for the news..Better to stick with Adobe 8

So flash is the only new thing in Adobe Acrobat 9?
