Just purchased the new Palm OS version of www.coreplayer.com for my Sony VZ90. Seems good so far. New flashy GUI. Menu setup is similar to TCPMP.
Benchmarks show about a 1% increase in decoding speed for my Divx files which is good since any extra speed on the VZ90 means smoother playback :)
MP4 decoding is a bit faster tool. H264(AVC) apprently has a big speed boost as well but i have yet to try it out. If the increase is a big as some of the coreplayer users are showing then it might be a good format to switch to for the best quailty/performance/size tradeoff.
Unfortuantly there seems to be buffering bug at the moment which causes slower video than TCPMP 72RC1. Quite a few of my videos that ran smoothly on TCPMP now seem to freeze and drop a lot of frames.
Plugin support is gone so you will have to install the whole 2.23 meg file. The GE2D Video Acceleration is in-built too now. I don't think the HHE audio side of things is thou.
It has number of new features but some missing from TCPMP like the Battery Override Tweak that prevents the 3 minute screen off ("No backlight keepalive for video" option didn"t seem to help) and the Video Qualtiy Adjuster that would downscale the video rendering to make it decode faster.
Atm they are selling it for $19.95 (20% discount from the intial $24.95) for today only (27/10/2006)
I bought it anyway since i been using TCPMP so much i think it money well spent, althrough i won't be switching over to Coreplayer as my main multimedia player yet due to the video lag buffering problem.
Should get better with future updates thou. If you use MP4 format for all your videos on the VZ90 then stick to MediaLauncher/FMP.
Edit: I have given the blade.mp4 H264/AVC video file a benchmark test from the thread :

TCPMP 72RC1
98.85%
COREPLAYER 1.0.2
99.57%
Both have the "Disable AVC deblocking filter" turned on
Hmm the results are some what of mixed bag from my orignal perception. Seems to stutter more on coreplayer I guess the speed boost was for Pocket PC owners. Back to TCPMP for now i guess :(
