Pocket Player 3 — Raising the Bar to a Better Media Player
November 20th, 2006 Jason Dunn
“I have a confession to make. I was not enthusiastic about Conduit’s latest release of Pocket Player. To be honest, I had used previous versions of Pocket Player and they never seemed to work well for me. So, it was with little enthusiasm that I approached the new Pocket Player release. I expected more of the same; a program that would be deleted from my Pocket PC faster than a drive through a one stoplight town. Then, a funny thing happened. The more I used it, the more indispensable I found it. This is not the same Pocket Player I had tried and rejected before. This latest version, offers significant updates from Pocket Player 2.7, including new features, options, bug fixes, and most importantly, a considerably faster user interface. Additionally, unlike previous versions, Pocket Player 3 is now a true all-in-one media player. It can easily handle audio, video, podcasts, web radio, and playlists. It even offers a today screen plugin. Far from being rejected from my Pocket PC, Pocket Player has quickly become one of my most important programs.”
Pocket Player 3 is a truly awesome program, and I’ve been meaning to review it - but until I get around to that, Just Another Mobile Monday.com has published a nice look at this application. Windows Media Player 10 Mobile has been sadly neglected for the most part over the last two years, so if you’re a media-heavy user, you’ve probably been looking for something better. Pocket Player 3 should certainly be on your short list!
