Maybe that's why they want to close it down? It doesn't matter how many you sell if you're not making any money off it. If their monitors are so good, then selling it for so cheap is the wrong thing to do. They should do what Apple does and sell less for higher margins.

Here is a video of TCPMP on HD2 playing a DivX avi with soft subtitles.

There are various mobile media players out there for Windows mobile that will play almost every format without the need to transcode.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Core_Pocket_Media_Player

"TCPMP supports many audio, video, and image formats, including AC3, HE-AAC, AMR, DivX, FLAC, H.263, H.264, JPEG, Monkey's Audio, MJPEG, MPEG-1, MP2, MP3, Musepack, MS-MPEG4-v3, PNG, Speex, TIFF, TTA, Vorbis, WAV, WavPack and XviD. It supports many container formats, including 3GP, ASF, AVI, Matroska, MPEG, OGG, OGM and QuickTime. Some formats, such as H.264, require a plugin, which may hamper performance.

With a third-party plugin, TCPMP can support youtube videos and other flash video formats."

The player above has been discontinued.

It is now being updated by corecodec

Because majority of Apple's commercials never slate their competitors. *rollseye*
Windows mobile is sadly overlooked platform. But it can do stuff that iphone can only dream about.

Want to torrent directly onto the phone and watch the video without having to transcode? WinMo has been able to do that for a while.

Also when it comes to gaming Microsoft has Direct X which is far superior to any OpelGL implementations out there.
@mojo8472 Not much different to xbox live then

But they're open source! Surely someone could have looked at the code and made it better. Isn't that what open source is all about? Are you telling me that closed sourced is better than open source all of a sudden!
@vman81 :
But But But, ATI has open source drivers, why would you wanna go close source and proprietary with nVidia?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
