-       Alp Toker has released version 0.5 of <a href="http://www.atoker.com/phonic/">Phonic</a>, a media player for .NET. Phonic makes extensive use of Mono-developed technologies such as Gtk# and csvorbis. Hopefully we will be seeing many more exciting applications like these in the near future.

+       architecture independent layer.
