Several weeks back we discussed the probability as to whether or not Android will get the chance to utilize VLC. After that discussion rumors began to pop up around the internet that a possible beta may be in progress. There is no official word to whether or not there will even be a release but the news that something is being worked on is big. Currently there is no very reliable or multi-format player for Android. Typically one would have to convert videos which could take several hours and and still may not be able to play successfully on an Android device. This could change the way we use our devices permanently. I personally would love to see this happen. With so many users who depend on their smart phones these days for both communication and entertainment the possibilities here could be endless. Most devices also offer great amounts of storage making such things as HD movies and high quality audio no problem to carry around in your pocket. More and more devices and also utilizing HDMI ports to connect your mobile device to a television which even adds another layer of sophistication which we look for in this ever changing digital world. With the market expanding VideoLan would be sure to have a large and ever expanding customer base which could change their outlook as well. There is no doubt that this rumor is becoming a big buzz to those in this community. Finally a media player that is both free and can play almost everything on one small device, nothing short of genius I would say. Another article which can be found here, goes into more detail about the unofficial pre alpha release. The screen shots are already very convincing and I know I can’t wait to try it out for myself. As always continue to check back for more news. I can tell this announcement might make a real difference in the Android world, especially with the slew of new phones coming to the market over the next couple of months and even before the years end.
