Turn your Palm into a media player...free!


Recommended Posts

If you have a Palm OS device with Palm 5.2.1...get this!

Its reported to be the fastest media player for Palm OS and...its FREE!

Stop paying for those media players out there and turn your Palm device into an mp3 player or on the go video player.

The Core Pocket Media Player plays mp3, mpc, ac3, mp4/aac, ogg, avi/divx/xvid, psp, matroska, camcorder formats, with more formats coming each day. I was just playing the Harry Potter 4 trailer on my device in PSP format and its plays flawlessly.

Test versions are here...more media formats are being added as we speak.

But what is the maximum possible storage capacity of a Palm Pilot to store these media files?

Why the size of your SD card of course. I watched an entire episode of LOST on the way from LA today and I had enough room left on the card to put some music in there. If you have a 1 gig SD card, you can play a gig of music and video on your Palm.

The player itself...depends since you have to install plugins. My installation is 650k.

umm, there have been media players out for the Palm for a long time... not sure what the big deal is. Don't get me wrong, this one looks cool and all, but it's not really anything new.

This is free, lite, and open to alot of formats

Yep, but this one is free and supports formats that had yet to be supported by the other media players, such as matroska, mpc, and ffmpeg.

EDIT: Also, video doesnt play very well on the commercial players. This player is playing video flawlessly and at least 2X faster than other video players I've tried. I dont really have any use for the video player, but its nice to see and the ability to store a gig of music and listen to it is pretty cool if you ask me.

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
