Today I’m presenting you OggPlay, the free audio player for smartphones. OggPlay was initially written for SonyEriccson P800 and then released under the GPL by Leif H. Wilden. As a true open source project, OggPlay has been since ported to several Symbian phones.
Main features of OggPlay:
- Plays .ogg audio files
- Detects and plays audio format supported the phone (MP3, AAC, MP4, M4A)
- Skins (you can make your own, or use already made ones)
- User defined hotkeys
- Autoplay
Supported features varie a lot depending on the phone OggPlay is installed on. OggPlay supports series 60 (MMF and non-MMF version), series 80 (Nokia Communicators) and UIQ platform.
The price is right, so go get it at SourceForge’s site.
UPDATE: OggPlay is now available for S60 3rd Edition smartphones!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
