Kinoma Notes

We’re proud to announce that Kinoma FreePlay was picked to power the media expe­ri­ence on the new Palm Treo Pro.

Here’s the press release that went out this week:

PALO ALTO, CA – Kinoma has been selected to power the mobile media expe­ri­ence on the new Treo™ Pro smart­phone by Palm, avail­able in stores this month. YouTube and The Wall Street Jour­nal on Audi­ble will be avail­able to Treo Pro own­ers with Kinoma FreePlay, the mobile media browser that lets con­sumers see and hear their favorite media faster.

Kinoma FreePlay deliv­ers an excep­tional mobile YouTube expe­ri­ence. So that view­ers always get smooth, high-quality video, Kinoma FreePlay auto­mat­i­cally switches between the Treo Pro’s net­work con­nec­tions to dynam­i­cally choose the opti­mal stream for the cur­rent net­work con­di­tions — PC-quality for Wi-Fi play­back, up to PC-quality for EVDO play­back. Users can sign in to their per­sonal YouTube account to watch favorites, find and rate new favorites, share via email or text mes­sages, and even upload movies taken with the Treo Pro’s built-in camera.

Kinoma FreePlay also pro­vides inno­v­a­tive Audi­ble sup­port. Users can sign up for their free 90-day trial of The Wall Street Jour­nal on Audi­ble in Kinoma FreePlay and start lis­ten­ing imme­di­ately. Kinoma pio­neered Audi­ble stream­ing, so Treo Pro users can start lis­ten­ing to The Wall Street Jour­nal over 100 times faster than the usual download-and-wait. Cru­cial for lis­ten­ing on-the-go, Kinoma FreePlay’s touch-savvy inter­face works equally well with the Treo Pro’s 5-way navigator.

“We’re big fans of the Palm Treo Pro, and Kinoma FreePlay on the new Treo Pro smart­phone really shows what it can do,” said Charles Wilt­gen, Direc­tor of Mar­ket­ing for Kinoma. “We’re proud to part­ner with Palm to pro­vide the best mobile media expe­ri­ence available.”
