The newest version of CorePlayer is scheduled for an Oct 16, 2006 release according to the web page.

CorePlayer is expected to eventually run on platforms such as PalmOS, Windows Mobile, various flavors of Windows, and more. It will include major enhancements to the existing TCMP software that is already extremely popular, and at some point should include streaming media support, skins, playlists, and a number of other improvements.

When this software was made available orginally for Palm, I remember Ed Colligan even referring to it's availability, but without naming the software probably to avoid offending Palm's software partners.

This release is also expected to have a commercial version that includes additional codec support, and probably a more limited free version will still be made available. Based on an old interview with one of the team members, they want very much to avoid making this an expensive piece of software, so I wouldn't expect it to be a $40 item, even if it might sell at that price point.
