Well, would you look at that. GalleryPlayer has shut down. 

GalleryPlayer® has ceased operations as of July 30, 2008.

According to the founder’s bio, the company has accually been sold, but to who we don’t know.

GalleryPlayer has had its content and technology deployed and distributed to customers by many world class partners including Google, Microsoft, Comcast, Panasonic, Mitsubishi and Samsung. GalleryPlayer was sold in August, 2008. Buyer confidential – transaction pending.

Will we see GalleryPlayer pop back up under new management? Hopefully something will come out of this because with flat-panel sales at an all time high, and the sales are only going to rise, a device that displays artwork on the sets is a great feature. Only time will tell.
