Kinoma Notes

Last week I posted about how every Palm Cen­tro has Kinoma soft­ware inside to power its video and audio streaming.

We call that core soft­ware “Kinoma Media Embed­ded”, or KME. Kinoma Player uses the same tech­nol­ogy, but Kinoma Player 4 EX does lots more and wraps it all in a sleek, ele­gant user interface.

Here are 5 ways that Kinoma Player will change how you use your smartphone:

1. It plays all your stuff — KME is a helper app used for video and audio stream­ing. Kinoma Player is a full-fledged mul­ti­me­dia player and can be your movie player, photo player, MP3 player, pod­catcher and more.
2. Exclu­sive fea­tures — Kinoma Player can do things that no other Palm OS player can do, like play true YouTube FLV video, play Win­dows Media Video and Audio (WMV/WMA), let you look around Quick­Time VR panora­mas, and (if you’re in the U.S.) lis­ten to Clear Chan­nel stream­ing radio.
3. The best stream­ing player on any mobile device — Kinoma Player is the only player built to take full advan­tage of today’s mobile data net­works. Not only does it sup­port standards-based RTSP stream­ing, but it can even stream pod­casts deliv­ered with ordi­nary web servers.
4. 20,000+ inter­est­ing things to watch and lis­ten to — Peo­ple in the telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions indus­try call Kinoma Media Guide a “mobile con­tent dis­cov­ery sys­tem”. We call it free video, radio, pod­casts and more, with no monthly sub­scrip­tion. There’s noth­ing else like it.
5. The best sup­port in the busi­ness — As easy as we make it, your smart­phone is still a lit­tle com­puter and not every­thing is per­fectly intu­itive. Between our excel­lent email sup­port, the forum and this blog, we really enjoy help­ing our cus­tomers use Kinoma Player to make their smart­phones a mobile media powerhouse.

Later this week I’m going to share a lit­tle secret with read­ers of this blog — how to get a “secret” upgrade dis­count if your phone came with KME (680, 700p, 755p, Centro).
