In the beginning, there was an awesome media player for Windows Mobile called ‘BetaPlayer‘. It could handle all kinds of audio and video codecs that the mobile version of Windows Media Player couldn’t. Eventually BetaPlayer turned into TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player), a freeware media app. And it was truly awesome. Then, all of a sudden, TCPMP dropped support for files downloaded from iTunes for legal reasons, and TCPMP became a little less useful. From this, the commercial CorePlayer was born. CorePlayer allows developers to collect some revenue and pay licensing fees for proprietary codec support.

I’ve been using CorePlayer for quite some time now and I love it. It does everything I want it to do: movies, video clips, audio files, YouTube, podcasts, JPGs, FLV files… and tonnes more.

Ever wish your WinMo phone sounded more like a tricorder? I know I have!

Well now, it’s possible… for some strange reason.

FlaxBox is a funny Windows Mobile application that brings eight super weird sounds to your phone. It features sounds like phasers, machine guns and crazy explosions.

The application lets you play these sounds whenever you’d like. I highly recommend doing so during important meetings, at funerals and weddings, and of course, on crowded buses. Think about all the leg room that a loud sound effect fart could get you!

Check out the video above and then be sure to download the freeware application!

The Samsung Omnia’s biggest selling point is its touch screen – it’s huge, very responsive, and looks very sharp. Also worth noting are its 8GB internal memory (expandable to 24GB with a 16GB microSD card!), great battery life, GPS built right in, and a 5MP auto-focus camera (with LED flash).

Phone Dog has just posted a video hands-on of the popular LG Incite on AT&T. The first LG ’smartphone’ to be released in the US ever (which, of course, is debatable by some… but not by me! I agree.)

The AT&T Incite runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, has a 3″ touchscreen, Video Share and a 3.5mm audio jack (Thank you, phone gods!). But, as these guys point out — what’s up with having a stylus and not having a slot on the device to store the stylus?
