Greetings everyone! Watching movies on the Nokia smartphones actually began to pick up its throttle when the trend of 3gpp almost diminished to Smartmovie’s Divx media format playing capability. All the latet mobiles from Nokia and others slowly, but surely, started to increase the actual size of the phone’s screen which added even more emphasis to video playback on the smartphones. Then along came the DivX players and others to play movies or clips straight from the mobile phones and with all the N-Series S60 phones having fantastic music edition versions popping up, the meaning of mobile movies started to creep in.

One of the earliest application that was successfully picking up its market was the Core Codec player and it wasn’t till late January when end users started to realize that Core Codec does not only adds movie playback on your symbian devices but it also brings a numerous audio and video codecs along with it, thus virtually making it an one stop all in one solution for handheld media. Core Codec player (or Core Player Mobile) is now the most effective solution out there in the market which actually synchronizes its features with the next generation media features and functions like Bluetooth A2DP support, mobile YouTube or mobile FLV playback support on your symbian smartphones, playing a bunch of audio formats and many other features. Core Player Mobile supports almost all the available formats of video like the MKV, MPEG-1, Theora, MPEG-4 part 2 (ASP), DivX, XviD, MSVIDEO1, WMV, Dirac, H.264 (AVC), MJPEG etc. It also has the built in features which lets it play YouTube videos straight from your cell phone, yes my friends, Core Player Mobile can play FLV movies on the go.

If you are a Podcaster then this can be a dream application for you as it will turn your Nokia smartphone into a full fledged Podcast player letting you reach to your friends and listeners worldwide without any additional softwares or platform. It also brings the power of Enhanced Podcasting and Core Caster functionality on your smartphones. Since it supports the UIQ, iPhone, Windows Mobile Platform, Palm and Symbian OS 9.1 & 9.2 platforms, Core Player mobile had to keep a common ground for both. And they did, they kept a simple user friendly interface on the front end so that even if you switch your handset from SonyEricsson to Nokia or from your Windows Mobile 5 to Nokia S60 3rd, you still can enjoy the same old navigation and features when you install Core Player Mobile. It is bluetooth ready from the get go and supports both A2DP and AVRCP transfers.

When I said all media formats, I meant all media formats! It also supports image management and so on, thus extending it further to be an image manager beside a video and audio player for your smartphones. Jpeg, Gif, Tiffm Mjpeg, Bmp and PNG… you show it that file’s location on your memory card and it will open it up easily. The application is super fast when it comes to image management and is far better than the stock “gallery” option of Nokia which will take an hour to load if you have thousands of images on your mem card. Core Player Mobile also supports media streaming within a few important protocols like Http, Udp, Rdp, Rtp, Rtsp, Rtcp, Asf and Asx. For the average user all these media formats might sound a little new, but trust me what you listen on your Virgin Mobile Radio or Pandora are done through these protocols and now you have them on your phone. So go ahead and open up your own mobile internet radio station today, free!

Core Player Mobile also lets you add custom universally supported skins on it and the widget that comes with it is damn easy to manage and execute, letting you customize the outlook of the player the way you see fit. So inspire youself to create your own skin and use it on your Core. In the future it will also integrate subtitles option which is something I am looking forward to.

Core Player Mobile supports all the major GSM and WCDMA network providers like T-Mobile, Orange Mobile UK, AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, Hutch, Telstra, Cingular, Airtel, Reliance Mobile, Telenor, Digi, Vodafone, Virgin Mobile UK etc and more. Compatible with all the latest symbian 3rd edition S60 N-Series and E-Series cell phones of Nokia and others like N95, N95 8gb, N96, N91, N92, N93, N85, N82, N79, N81, N80, N78, N77, N76, 3250, 6121, 6220, 6110, 6120, 5310, 5200, 6300, N75, N73, E50, E60, E70, E90, E51, E61, E71, E66, E62, E65, 5700 Xpress Music, 5500, 5610, 5710 etc and more.
