One App To Rule Them All: Smith Micro Revue
"While Windows Mobile devices includes nearly everything to let you watch, listen of view your favorite videos, music or photos, the inbuilt multimedia solutions are quite fragmented since there is not a all-in-one media player for all your multimedia files. Maybe that's what Smith Micro Software, Inc. thought as well when they developed its Revue, an intuitive, all-in-one multimedia application that enables you to take your music, photos and videos with you."
Despite the title of this post, I'm not sure I'm sold on the idea of one app to access all your media. I tend to favour best-of-breed rather than all-in-one, but then again I carry a PPC, a phone, a UMPC, and a laptop around regularly, and wonder why my back aches. So I imagine some might find a comprehensive app appealing, in which case Revue might be something you might want to check out. There are a couple of gotchas though - there's no available trial and no VGA support, plus WM2003 users are left out. Revue is available for $29.95, which includes a trial subscription and 35 free songs from eMusic.

How does this differ from CorePlayer (An all in one multimedia player)?

Hard to say with no trial available to test  but I find it hard to believe that this will have the kind of video codec support that Coreplayer has, however good it is with photos and music.
