Now for the interactive part: whenever you watch a trailer, special “hotspots” will come up where you can learn more about the characters. Even cooler though is the integration of Avatar’s Twitter, Flickr, and You Tube feeds. You can get all of the latest news right from the interactive trailer.
Honestly? We’re very impressed with Avatar’s app. It’s slick, easy to use, and chock-full of content. If this doesn’t fulfill your need for an Avatar fix, then nothing but the actual movie will."
Now If you can't install the Adobe AIR App on your desk top, well here is the old fashion embedded video trailer for your viewing pleasure.
