2 great headlines for iPad, iPod, and iPhone media hounds.
In the video department, the renowned VLC video player is available on the iPad for free from the Apple App Store! This release was made possible by Applidium (and the newly published App Store Rules). I don't have an iPad to test this one out, but maybe an avid reader of the blog can try it out for us and tell us all about it (@Samboni!?). My first question: Will it play VOB files with menus? It does look like it relies upon features currently specific to the iPad allowing it to get files from your computer during the sync process. It also looks like HP is using a similar file sync method on its iPod and iPhone printer tool under iOS 4 so we may see VLC on our other iDevices soon.
In the music department, the infamous Napster released their app for iPod, iPhone and iPad today at the Apple App Store. Users get a free trial (with the condition of signing up with a credit card -- beware, if you don't cancel you automatically start your $10 per month subscription). I'll take the plunge on this during the free trial, but once you add up all of the recurring fee subscriptions I want (NHL GameCenter, Netflix, and now Napster), I need to start deciding which ones are worth it. I'll update this post with my experience during my trial period.
