If you click on the Get Apps icon on the Kinoma home screen there is an "Advanced Settings" option that you can download in just a few seconds. Advanced Settings allows you to select which media folders to scan, so you don't have to see extraneous system/temp files showing up in your Pictures or Music apps.
Aside from its cool iPhone like interface, what sold me was its YouTube app which displays much much higher quality video than the built in Touch Pro 2 application along with nifty GUI interfaces to Yelp, Orb, Shoutcast, Twitter, Flickr, Picasa, etc.

@borntochill: dude, thanks. That helped a lot. Now it just shows me the pics in my "Pictures" directory structure.....still in one big lump. For 1400+ pics, that's pretty useless. But, if I go specifically to the storage card, and select the appropriate folder, it works. But then, ironically, it won't let me view them as a grid, only as a list. Just weird.
I *want* to like this. You're right, the interface is really nice. I was exploring the apps a bit, and I found a reader that uses Google reader as a basis, so I get all my feeds. That's really nice, so I just found one reason to keep it installed. I checked the Facebook app, and it seems ok so far. Flickr too.
BTW, referring to comments above, my music is in WMA format, not MP3. Maybe it can't read those tags to sort the songs appropriately. Additionally, I can't sort them at all, even by name. I rip the music to have the track number as the first thing in the file name, but nope, Kinoma won't let me sort on that either. Since I listen to albums, as opposed to songs or playlists, that kills it for me as a music player. The fact that it can't play my Rhapsody music (protected) is the nail in the coffin, so I'm still searching for a music player. Sigh.
