AutoPlay Videos in App World

More video players are appearing in App World for the BlackBerry PlayBook. "AutoPlay Videos", from Bumblebee Computing, is $0.99 US for a "limited time" only. How limited they don't say. I don't think this is a true video player, because like "Remote Media Player ", it uses the native video player. They both play whatever the native video player plays - no more, no less.

What "AutoPlay Videos " does is play videos one after the other. You make a list of videos to play and it plays them in the order you set. It may be good for long trips with the kids in the back seat or for presentations. I have no need for this feature, but someone else may. 

It also has a search function. Which will come in handy if you have hundreds of videos. As I have the 16GB model, it doesn't hold too many video. A 20 minute cartoon, transcoded into a mkv format will be maybe 60 MB. So you could get 17 episodes into 1 GB. Then 60 GB will hold over 1,000 episodes.  Search function will be needed. Alas, not for me. 

I have not tried this one, as it doesn't appeals to me, but others may like it. It also has resume play, always a good thing.
