It is good to see a new version of windows media player for pocket pc included on the HP EUU3 but what is the point of an improved streaming media player when the MSN mobile media channel has not been updated for months! http://windowsmedia.com/mobile/

The news channel is still broadcasting sniper news (pre arrest) and I am getting sick of listening to that song from Shakira. I enjoy the media content from Microsoft on my desktop why cant they update the mobile site ?

WMP 8.5 does seem better when playing MP3s. Doesn't ignore or stop playing halfway through some of mine like it used to. It does get the bitrate and total time of a VBR MP3 wrong, but at least it plays them. :?

Is MSN the only place you can stream content from that's compatible with Windows Media Player?
