There is a lot of content on Kinoma FreePlay (and I can't believe that vendor is holding back even more content to motivate you to purchase the retail version), but I'm beginning to believe that this is the "one size fits all" application that is a must have for every Samsung Code user.

Kinoma Play, work less and play more---I'm believing the hype!
