Kinoma Play to Be Fea­tured at CTIA Wire­less Show in Microsoft Booth #5136

PALO ALTO, CA–(Marketwire — March 31, 2009) — Kinoma Play, the mobile media browser that lets con­sumers see and hear their favorite media faster, has been listed as one of the anchor appli­ca­tions for Win­dows Mar­ket­place for Mobile. The recently announced appli­ca­tion mar­ket­place will be included with all Win­dows phones based on Win­dows Mobile 6.5 this fall. Kinoma will demon­strate Kinoma Play in Microsoft Corp.‘s booth, #5136 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.

“Enthu­si­asts have embraced Kinoma Play as a ‘must-have’ appli­ca­tion that shows how pow­er­ful the Win­dows Mobile media expe­ri­ence can be,” said Peter Hod­die, co-founder and CEO of Kinoma. “Win­dows Mar­ket­place for Mobile opens up users to a new expe­ri­ence where they can dis­cover and expe­ri­ence dynamic appli­ca­tions, like Kinoma Play, on their Win­dows mobile device.”

“As a cre­ator of mobile media soft­ware, Kinoma offers tech­nol­ogy that is a great asset to the Win­dows Mar­ket­place,” said Steve Hegen­der­fer, group prod­uct man­ager, Microsoft. “We look for­ward to mak­ing it easy for mil­lions of Win­dows phone users to down­load Kinoma Play, one of the lat­est mobile media browsers avail­able for find­ing and access­ing video, audio and pictures.”

With more than 20,000 appli­ca­tions already in mar­ket, Win­dows Mobile is among the most pop­u­lar plat­forms for devel­op­ers. Win­dows Mobile 6.5, the next gen­er­a­tion of the Win­dows Mobile oper­at­ing sys­tem, will allow devel­op­ers to build inno­v­a­tive mobile appli­ca­tions by lever­ag­ing famil­iar desk­top and server devel­op­ment tools.

If you hap­pen to be at CTIA Wire­less 2009 show, please come by the Microsoft booth and say “hi!”
