Pocket Tunes by NormSoft, the default media player on the Palm OS Treos and Centro, is now available on Windows Mobile devices. I've enjoyed Pocket Tunes for years on my Palm OS devices. Now I'll also be able to enjoy it on my Treo 750.

Pocket Tunes has a number of features. The new Windows Mobile version includes all the features of the Palm OS version. Music files supported include MP3, WMA, AAC, and aacPlus. And the Pocket Tunes Sync application for iTunes is included for Windows PCs, enabling you to copy playlists and their contents from your iTunes library to your phone for playback in Pocket Tunes. Sweet!
