  In this paper we define Kobayashi-Royden pseudonorm for almost complex
manifolds. Its basic properties known from the complex analysis are preserved
in the nonintegrable case as well. We prove that the pseudodistance induced by
this pseudonorm coincides with the Kobayashi pseudodistance defined for the
almost complex case earlier. We also consider a geometric application for
moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic curves.
