Well, ... It works, but as of now, its not really good for much, though it does play at 30fps.

Im quite content with ic2, which can do mp4 movies in full screen. It really the only thing that will work with my TH-55, because it uses the dsp.

Hey guys, I'm TML's tester. When it is out - it will be one of greatest apps. To tell the truth - current state of video players for PalmOS - is really bad. Just look at the PPc's side with FREE players like BetaPlayer. Current playsrs (kinoma(crap),mmplayer,smartmovie) works at least 2 times slower than players on PPc with same processor (shame!). Besides, there is curently _notheing_ at all to play back popular formats like Ogm (ogg media ) and mkv (motroska). - This is also planned for the future. It will also be a picture viewer by the way.

Finally some open-source movement!
BTW, support 3gp files with Audio(not like Kinoma 3EX, stands for Extra Crap IMHO).

aw man! if i knew that there was going to be a free media player, i wouldn't have dished out $$$ for MMPlayer! oh well, i guess MMplayer is worth the money.

It looks like a good buy. Dont feel bad about buying a good program.

This is looking really promising!

I've put down some hard hours on UMC (http://unlogic.no-ip.biz/umc) the past week and it's not impossible that I'll be able to release the first working version of it tomorow night. And with a new player around it just makes things better.

Long live open source!

This caused a fatal reset on my NX!

hmm.. on my TG50 MMPlayer runs MUCH faster than this player... but the interface looks cool... would be awsome if the performance was like MMplayers or even better.
