CorePlayer mobile media player updates include YouTube, iPhone
The developers of mobile media software CorePlayer have been hard at work. The team is showing off CorePlayer 1.2 with support for YouTube videos at CES. And as you can see from the video above, CorePlayer is also coming soon to an iPod near you. Right now the iPhone version is pretty rough around the edges. There's not even any video support. But that will all change in time.
If you're not familiar with CorePlayer, here's a little history lesson. Once upon a time there was an awesome media player for Windows Mobile called BetaPlayer. It could handle all sorts of audio and video codecs that the mobile version of Windows Media Player could not. Eventually BetaPlayer grew up and became the freeware TCPMP (The Core Pocket Media Player).
For a while all was well in the land of TCPMP, but one day the team decided they should drop support for files downloaded from iTunes for legal reasons, and TCPMP became a little less useful and the commercial CorePlayer was born, allowing the developers to collect some revenue and pay licensing fees for proprietary codec support.

Cool, finally an update, and iPhone version soon. I have been working hard at converting video podcasts into mobile video stream able formats, and adding in iPhone support as well, you can test drive the video's if you have a phone that supports video streaming and a decent 3g connection, sorry Edge your a bit to slow..
