RealPlayer Cloud, the cloud-enabled video storage and streaming app developed by Real Networks, is set to get a significant update today. The update is expected to introduce a new referral scheme and support for SMS sharing.
Launched in September last year initially for users in the U.S. and Canada, RealPlayer Cloud has been made available internationally, enabling users around the world to easily watch and share videos on their devices. Powered by RealNetworks' SurePlay technology, RealPlayer Cloud allows for auto-formatting of videos according to any device's screen size, available bandwidth, and storage space.
