The Ogg Vorbis project to create a fully open, licence-free alternative to the MP3 format got a boost on Thursday with the release of the first Ogg player for a handheld device.
A firm called TheKompany, which makes Linux desktop tools and developer applications, released tkcPlayer for Sharp's Linux-based Zaurus handheld computer. TkcPlayer also handles MP3 files, and includes features like filtering by different song attributes and playlist management. The Zaurus will launch in the UK next week.
