Okay, there was big hype when SonaMobile mentioned they were going to be release the first video player ever for Blackberry. Many of us were impressed merely by the fact that they were able to get video on the device, therefore we didn't let the sub-par video quality and long download times be to much of an issue. While everyone was caught up in the hype surrounding SonaMobile, another company was quietly working behind the scenes developing their software to deliver streaming audio to our devices. With VERY little delay and rather than have poor video there's audio but the content is FIRST CLASS!

Ladies and Gentlemen,you'll find this only on Pinstack.com and we promise you the download link as soon we get the ok! Without further delay, I present you with the first pictures of QuickPlayer from QuickPlayMedia!

I have had the opportunity to play with this program and let me tell you, if you thought other media programs were good, then QuickPlayer will blow you away.

BlackBerry Podcast


Over 20 different channels and this software hasn't been released yet!
You have the ability to first preview a channel and decide if you want to subscribe to it. It will play a quick clip of the channel giving you an idea of the channel. If you wish to subscribe, click the trackwheel and subscribe, and it will then be saved in "My Channels".

Once you go to open a channel, it will connect and buffer and within 5 seconds you will have GREAT quality, STREAMING audio directly on your device.

Want to listen to reports while you are still using your BlackBerry? No problem. Hit the end button and the audio still plays out of the speaker as you compose your next email. Audio quality is EXCELLENT also. Use the trackwheel to turn the volume up or down. Turn it all the way up, and you will be able to hear it in a busy bar or airport.

The ability for a media player to be put on a BlackBerry in itself is not that impressive. What makes QuickPlayer extremely impressive, is its ability to run quick, crisp, clear and uninterrupted audio.

I personally believe this is the most jaw dropping program that I have EVER seen released on a Blackberry Device. The folks over at QuickPlayer deserve a HUGE pat on the back for this program. And the best thing? This isn't even the final product and fingers crossed for the final product to include some video.

This program was initially set to be released back in July, around the same time as SonaMobile. Believe me, the wait will be well worth it.

QuickPlayer, you guys have done an EXCELLENT job in my book.

*We will be releasing more information and updating this post. Please do not send PM's, PIN messages or emails for the download link. As always, as soon as we are able to release the download link, it will be done in a heartbeat. You can also signup for updates here!

Great review. Really looking forward to hearing more about this.

[N8DBB]

I don't want to rub it in how great it is, since its not yet avaliable, but this truly is an awesome program.

Sounds Awesome Nate. Great review! Cost?

[erinwidmann]

Omg! I cannot wait - this sounds great! Thanks!

[cp6169]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ Thanks N8, looks great!

[melissaox]

Cool info. When I try to sign up, it just reloads the page. I dunno if that means I signed up or that the web page hates me. Anyone else?

Any ETA?

[flash24]

wow... i can't wait. :D Thanks!!!!

[dasupaman23]

~via SUPA BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

So to listen you can only use the speakerphone? Or will stereo headphones work too? I hope this opens the doors to streaming satellite radio. I would love to listen to Sirius on my BB

[N8DBB]

Ok, to answer a few questions:

ETA: Not exactly sure on a release date, however it is coming soon. As soon as we get the info, we definately pass it on .

Cost: Same as above

Headphones: Good question. Didn't try it. Sona wasn't able to though, so I am doubting this will. The new Pearl has the ability to play audio through the headphones, and this works on the Pearl also. If I can find my headset, I will try and let you all know.

Thanks to the folks at Pinstack for such a glowing review! We're so glad you liked it and can't wait to get it into the hands of the public. The service is going to be launched through carriers and now that we have the preliminary content sorted out with the likes of ABC, ClearChannel, Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones, Market Watch, Accuweather and more to come, we're ready to finalize the deals with the carriers. We hope to see some of the first carriers go live in the next month or two in both North America and Europe.

Pricing is still to be determined as it will depend on how various carriers offer their BB data plans.

Stay tuned on pinstack.com and when we have more news, you can find it here.

Cheers!

N8DBB, it looks like you are running the 8700 version on your Pearl as the graphics are cut off on the right of the screen. We have a version specifically formatted for 7130's and Pearl which have been optimized for those screen sizes.

Hey Mark,

Welcome to the site.

It is the 8700 version running on the Pearl.

I was unable to get the 7130 version to download?

I am thinking I have the correct link, I will PM you with it to make sure I have it correct.

Apologies. We just recently updated our web capture facilities and it looks like it's broken as the information does not make it into our database. I will get them to fix it so we can let eveyone know when new news is available.

Thanks QPlayer.

Subject to certification by Verizon, yes. Same firmware as 8700 (required for the codecs for audio).

Thanks! We are very excited about this new program!

[tfung]

wow.. this looks fantastic! hopes this will work on 8707's as well!

[N8DBB]

Well, here you go. Sorry about the quality, but the camera I took this with isn't all that great.

Also, i know the audio is kind of crappy, but I couldn't get the cam to focus and pick up audio if I held the berry too far away...Sorry about that.
