TCPMP - The Best Free Palm Video Player
TCPMP which stands for The Core Portable Media Player and for most of us out there, it is the choice portable media player for the Palm. Now there are other players out there like Kinoma which can play windows media video files but TCPMP does very well with practically all the other formats and it is free. It supports Mpeg, Divx, Xvid, H.264, mp3 and ogg formats. You know this is the player to use when Jeff Hawkins uses it himself to watch movies. It also serves as a pretty capable audio player as well. All you have to do to enjoy movies is convert movies you own to the format that can fit on an SD Card and play on TCPMP. Click here for a guide on the conversion process for DVDs. I am seeming to have trouble finding where to download the free player so I will have to update you on this.

This app is the the beta version of Coreplayer which it eventually evolved to. While there are fairly minor improvements on the paid-version CP, TCMP is a great, free alternative that beats most of the paid apps out there. Good reference, Fox.

From personal experience I can say that TCMP performs WAY better than MMPLAYER.
Take a 320×240 25 fps MPEG with 44100Hz Stereo MP3 audio and lots of movement.
Benchmark Tungsten E2 overclocked to 400MHz with Lightspeed
TCMP: 39.54 fps (158.14% increase)
MMPLAYER: way less than 25 fps
I can’t believe they charge money for MMPLAYER.
