Kinoma Play: the cool mobile media browser

I got a demo by Peter Hoddie, CEO of Kinoma, and I was quite impressed by this mobile application. Kinoma Play is an innovative mobile media browser for Windows Mobile. The spec sheet describes over 100 features... and I am not going to list them all here.

Using either the touch screen and/or the joystick on their phone, users can easily navigate all their media files or online content from their phone in a more intuitive way than what Windows Mobile offers. The user interface elements disappear when viewing the media, the menu scrolls fast and is easily accessible at any time.

Kinoma Play allows user to share Flickr, YouTube, iDisk, Audible.com (audio book), Live365 (internet Radio) accounts, and gives access to a wide range of media content available on the Internet via the build-in Kinoma Guide.

The search capabilities are neat, in addition of searching the phone or the Internet, Kinoma allows user to search and access the media on their PC from their phone using Orb. Some cool features include a 360 degre navigation in panoramic images, the ability to rotate the photos, the streaming of podcasts and Audible audio book.

Kinoma Play is available from Kinoma.com for $29.99 and Kinoma FreePlay is a free and I suppose a lighter version of the media browser. (The difference has not been explained clearly). It is compatible for Windows Mobile 5.0 and higher.
