Mathematica player debuts

Wolfram, the publishers of Mathematica have introduced a new web service that makes it possible to deploy dynamic Mathematica documents that run freely on any compatible computer. Prior to the new service, most interactive Mathematica notebook files (.nb/.nbp) would only run in a fully licensed copy of Mathematica 6. The free Mathematica Player runtime application now makes it possible to view the files without any commercial software. Playable projects include animated 3D models, real-time data from the web, and other features. The free Mathematica Player software is available immediately for download.

Also available is a pro version that includes the ability to connect to databases, create documents, import/export data and more.
