xPlayer – Free BlackBerry Media Player – Now Skinable

xplay3.jpgxPlayer is one of my favorite new applications for the BlackBerry. The media player reminds me of Winamp and just gets the job done with a very user friendly interface that now also has theme options. As I mentioned before it also helps that the software is completely free when compared to the competition and has no limits and restrictions. Thankfully in the new version x-Berrysoft has provided both OTA and Desktop install links:

xPlayer Website: www.x-berrysoft.com/xplayer.php
OTA: OTA Download Install link
Desktop: Desktop Manager Install Link

The new version of xPlayer brings a few fixes and new features to the application even though it is still in beta. They have introduced cool new features like combining playlists and scrolling page by page instead of line by line. I highly encourage everybody to provide the developer Rob with as much feedback as possible on what needs to be improved in the application.
