Kinoma

Windows Mobile 6.X/Symbian S60 – 2008–2012

Kinoma Play was introduced for Windows Mobile 6.0 devices on August 25, 2008, for $29.95, with Kinoma FreePlay available to users as a demo of the Kinoma Guide. Kinoma Play was eventually made available on Symbian S60 phones on September 15, 2009. No version of Kinoma was made for successive platforms from either Microsoft or Symbian. On March 12, 2012, after announcing Android general availability, Kinoma removed their online store to pay for the app on Windows Mobile and Symbian.

On April 1, 2012, all Windows Mobile and Symbian Kinoma products were discontinued.

Android – 2012–2014

In February 2011, shortly after being acquired by Marvell, Kinoma announced an Android platform beta of their Kinoma Play app. On March 12, 2012, Kinoma released a preview copy of Kinoma Play for Android to the public, which was offered free of charge, also announcing that the final version of the app will also be offered free of charge. On January 6, 2014, Kinoma announced the discontinuation of availability and support for the app.

History

Kinoma was founded in 2002 by ex-Apple employees Peter Hoddie, Brian Friedkin, Michael Kellner, and Elizabeth Dykstra-Erickson to design and build mobile media products. All four founders worked together in Apple's QuickTime team.

On February 14, 2011, Marvell announced they had acquired Kinoma.

As of February 2019, the Kinoma website displays "Kinoma websites are no longer being supported." Peter Hoddie, Brian Friedkin and Michael Kellner are now listed as team members of Palo-Alto–based Internet-of-Things startup Moddable.
