Dear RealPlayer User,

I'm very excited to announce the beta release of
RealPlayer G2 and RealPlayer Plus G2, available 
for download now.

With RealPlayer G2 you'll get a quantum leap in 
RealAudio and RealVideo quality, including an 80% 
improvement in RealAudio's frequency response and 
smoother, sharper RealVideo.

RealPlayer G2 technology dramatically reduces 
rebuffering, which means less break-up in RealAudio
and RealVideo streams.  With this new feature you'll
notice increased performance over your modem -- even
under poor network conditions.

RealPlayer G2 allows you to reach a universe of
programming directly through your player.  With the 
touch of a button through RealChannels you can access
great channels like CNN, Screening Room (movie 
previews), ABC, NPR, Comedy Central, and more.

To download now, visit:

We are also releasing a new version of the premium 
RealPlayer, RealPlayer Plus G2.  With RealPlayer Plus
G2 you'll receive:

*  Even better RealAudio and RealVideo quality
*  Hi-fi audio display with spectrum analyzer
*  10 channel graphic equalizer for tuning treble, bass,
   and mid-range
*  Video controls which work just like your TV set --
   you control brightness, contrast, and saturation

All of this with a 30-day money back guarantee -- just
$29.99.  To download now, visit:
