I had the opportunity to review the full version of the popular Kinoma Play. The full version of the app has all the features of the free version plus:

-More search results
-Upload to Flickr, YouTube, and other social networking sites
-Works with iTunes
-Play AVC/H.264 video
-Play thousands of internet radio stations
-Play from URLs
-Play Windows Media Video
-Your personal Jukebox
-Support for FLAC audio
-Kinoma Guide
-Much, much more

Screen transitions are very smooth and has separate “landing” pages similar to an iPhone layout. Finger gestures are very smooth, as well as menu transitions.

The Exit option is a little buried. You have to press the Menu button, then go to the 3rd tab.

The free version of their Player is great and has received many great reviews. The full version just adds to it. In my opinion, it has plenty of options for your $30. Its nice to have one app that does many things well, rather than multiple apps that do things mediocre.

Playback is smooth and the interface seems very intuitive.

I give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Buy it from the PPCGeeks store for $29.99 here!

UPDATE II: The big news that Kinoma was planning on sharing is that their Kinoma Play has been released on the Symbian OS.

Today Kinoma announced that its flagship product, Kinoma Play, is now available for Nokia S60, the world’s dominant smartphone platform. Nokia S60 users can now enjoy the best way to find, play, and share media in a beautiful, fast, easy-to-use application.

UPDATE: A member of the site and a worker for Kinoma dropped us an update in the comments. The big announcement will be postponed until later this month.

Hello,

Sorry to disappoint, but we’re going to be doing the launch a bit later this month.

It turns out everybody and their mother (not to mention the behemoth that is The Beatles) thought it would be fun to launch products on 9/9/09, and we want to make sure it gets the attention it deserves.

Thanks!

– Charles
