Kinoma Notes

When we first talked about Kinoma Play, we did some­thing a bit unusual for Kinoma — we pre-announced Kinoma Play for Symbian/S60.

Need­less to say, we’ve since been inun­dated with inquiries from Symbian/S60 fans who crave the Kinoma Play expe­ri­ence but want to enjoy it on their phone of choice.

We’re happy to announce that Nokia has invited us to give a sneak pre­view of Kinoma Play for Symbian/S60 in their booth at this year’s CTIA Wire­less. Here are the main details, fol­lowed by a link to the full press release:

PALO ALTO, CA — Kinoma will offer vis­i­tors to CTIA Wire­less a first-ever sneak pre­view of its Kinoma Play mobile media browser for Nokia’s S60 devices. Kinoma Play for S60, slated for launch on Nokia’s forth­com­ing Ovi Store, lets con­sumers see and hear their favorite media faster. It will be fea­tured in Nokia booth #7553 at the CTIA Wire­less show in Las Vegas, April 1–3.

Kinoma Play is a fun­da­men­tally bet­ter way to find, play and share all kinds of media — videos, music, pod­casts, radio, audio­books and pho­tos — whether they’re on your phone, your home PC, or stream­ing from your favorite social media sites. It deliv­ers an excep­tional, touch-optimized media expe­ri­ence for lead­ing sites like YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, SHOUT­cast and Live365, and the built-in Kinoma Guide puts “the best of the web” within easy reach.

“Kinoma Play for S60 is a nat­ural pro­gres­sion for us,” said Peter Hod­die, co-founder and CEO of Kinoma. “S60 on Sym­bian OS is the world’s lead­ing mobile plat­form, and that’s appeal­ing because we want the whole world to be able to enjoy the Kinoma mobile media expe­ri­ence. Through Forum Nokia, we get access to devices like the Nokia 5800 Xpress­Mu­sic which is a great show­case for Kinoma Play, and we’re excited about the prospect of being able to con­nect with Nokia cus­tomers through Ovi Store.”

“The flex­i­bil­ity of S60 truly sup­ports third party devel­op­ers and allows them a robust plat­form to show­case their soft­ware in the best light,” said Rob Tay­lor, Head of Forum Nokia. “We are excited to pro­vide such a great mobile media expe­ri­ence for our con­sumers and look for­ward to see­ing Kinoma Play avail­able through the Ovi Store.”

To get your sneak peek of Kinoma Play on S60, visit the Nokia booth (#7553) at CTIA Wire­less 2009, April 1–3 at the Las Vegas Con­ven­tion Cen­ter in Las Vegas, NV.

We’ll be in the Nokia booth from 10:30am-5pm on Wed/Thu, and 10am-3pm on Fri. If you’re com­ing to CTIA, stop on by and ask for Kinoma — we’d love to say “hello”!
