Where would a good multimedia app be without a visualizer setting? You’ll one that under "Visual Effects" in the main menu, or work with a bunch of other useful tools you’ll find while tinkering around with mO. You’ll also see the new "My mOcean" menu, in which you can check for updates automatically, get tips, read the FAQ or tell your best buds about the latest release with ease. More visualizers are on the way, but if you’re impatient you’ll be able to make your own soon with the forthcoming SDK.
Truly, mOcean has stepped into the spotlight as one of the most diverse and flexible apps for your Treo. While it’s true that if you’re one of the lucky 700p owners, you’ll have more media content available to you, even 650 users will benefit from all the amazing stuff MotionApps have crammed in this unique application, which is a bargain at twice the price.
So, go ahead and try out an evaluation copy. Take it from me, it‘s free to test out, and you’ll be glad you did.
