How about a new way to look at, integrate and play online with your media? That's what Kinoma Play promises, for S60 3rd Edition and QVGA screens at least. Integrating Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Last.FM and many others, together with all the content already on your phone, seems like Kinoma Play is all-encompassing. Here's Ewan's largely positive assessment of this (commercial) new media suite.

Curious as to why there's no trial version available, particularly for such a premium price product.

My feelings exactly. There's some sort of free trial, but it seems to be linked to some sort of email adverting; I'm not sure how it works, but I'm certainly not signing up to something like that just to get a free trial of some software that should provide a "normal" trial version anyway...

A trial version would be nice to have. Unfortunately, the technologies licensed for Kinoma Play (codecs, etc.) prevent us from distributing a free trial.

Nope, there can never be a free trial of Kinoma Play. However, you can:

Check out the videos at http://kinoma.com/. The first four 30-second spots give you the flavor, and the 5th video is a 20+ minute demo that touches on many aspects of the product.

Check out the product page at http://kinoma.com/play/. The tabs contain lots of useful info. And if you buy Kinoma Play and something doesn't work as advertised, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Use TrialPay to get Kinoma Play for free. TrialPay is an innovate service that lets you "buy" something in exchange for completing an offer, like signing up with GoDaddy to buy a domain name. Most people still buy Kinoma Play with money, but we have many happy customers who've used TrialPay.

Follow us on Twitter or Facebook (see below). Every so often, we post "secret" discount coupons for people who care enough to follow us.

Hope his helps!

Thanks for the clarification Charles. Good to know.

Do you know if the product been tested on the Nokia E90 (Commincator) internal screen? It would be nice to know if it can cope with this additional screen real estate. A lot of apps struggle / or are not supported.

... update ...

ound this, relating to Kinoma Play on the E90.

Thanks for the extra info. However, I feel that TrialPay could be better explained on your website; you're immediately presented with a request for your email address, without too much explanation about what it's going to be used for, which is slightly off-putting...

Yes, although I couldn't tell you when it'll be ready.

Your best bet is to subscribe to our blog or follow us on Twitter (send "follow kinoma" to 40404).
