Kinoma is a privately-held company founded in 2002 by ex-Apple employees Peter Hoddie, Brian Friedkin, Michael Kellner, and Elizabeth Dykstra-Erickson to design and build mobile media products. All four founders worked together in Apple's QuickTime team.

Kinoma is notable as the creator of the most popular media player for Palm OS. Every Palm OS-based Treo currently shipping includes some edition of Kinoma Player. Additionally, Sling Media's SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm OS is based on Kinoma's core technologies.
