If, for some reason, you missed the VLC train, worry no more because Ryan Petrich is hosting the app on his beta repo in Cydia. Let’s see how to get it…

Apple has removed VLC from the App Store after receiving a formal notification of copyright infringement from VLC developers. The notification of infringement was filed because Apple’s iTunes Terms and Conditions don’t allow users to install both free and paid apps on more than 5 devices.

First Look At VLC iPhone App [video]

Applidium, has just submitted VLC for the iPhone to the app store

Applidium, has just submitted VLC for the iPhone to the app store, and 9to5Mac has an ‘exclusive hands-on, AND mini-review AND preview’ ( i wish sarcasm tags were available ) of the app.

PS: it’s 1280 BY 720 NOT 1280 TIMES 720 you morons. Because its the width – height ratio and you don’t multiply the width by the height. And the ‘X’ doesn’t always mean you multiply something. ‘X’ in grown-up mathematics means a Cartesian product #justsayin

VLC has been ported to the iPad by Applidium with the blessing of the VideoLan team. The app is currently in submission with Apple and is awaiting approval.

After several month of porting, we are proud to announce the release of VLC for the iPad! This application stands out for two reasons. First, it will be available for free on the AppStore. But that’s not all. VLC is an OpenSource project. We are currently preparing our patches for submission to the main VLC tree. And obviously, we will release our current working tree when the app will hit the AppStore. If everything goes well, VLC for the iPad should be available next week.
