Fellow writer Brian Hart recently reviewed Kinoma Play, the paid version by Kinoma. He found:
Kinoma Play is just about as good as it gets for finding, organizing and playing media on your Windows Mobile Treo. I'm looking forward to loading it on my brand new Treo Pro when it gets here. I can hardly wait! Browsing your local files and media out on the Internet is easy, the interface is clean and finger-friendly, and streaming media over your Internet connection is about as seamless as playing it locally. Kinoma has done a fine job with this player and they are good about providing updates. Although the app is RAM-hungry and the initial media scanning can be a little time-consuming, Kinoma Play should be a welcome app on your Windows Mobile Treo.
Kinoma Freeplay is the FREE version, which may not have all the advanced features - but, it's free, so check it out!
