Kinoma Play: Get the iPhone multimedia experience on Windows Mobile
A group of ex-Apple engineers has designed Kinoma Play, a multimedia tool which allows you to find, play, and share video, audio, and pictures from across connected devices and online.
It also offers the Kinoma Guide, offering advice on the best mobile-friendly content online.

Microsoft wants more "music" on Windows Mobile
Microsoft is clearly a bit jealous of how well the iPhone/iTunes/iPod trinity is raking in cash for the Apple machine, so is keen to try and boost the amount of music services available “on the go” to users of Windows Mobile phones.
“One thing that Apple has leveraged on is the music scenario, and I think that that is something the operators and ourselves are partnering on, just to make sure that consumers can use live music in the best way,” Andy Lees, senior vice president…
