Applidium, the company responsible for the VLC port, reported that the new version of the VLC media player would run on iPhone and iPod touch. It can be very depressing for older iPhone users as they are not lucky enough to get these features on their older models. This software company, Applidium, has ported the media player to VLC player to ipad. They have announced a universal version of iOS, which would be reviewed by Apple and is expected to be approved soon. Last month, Apple approved the iPad version for the app store. Now, soon all iPhone and iPad users are expected to be able to download the new VLC media player easily on their phone.
Characteristics associated with this new development
There are a lot of popular media files or formats responsible for iOS devices, especially all the movies and audio files. The new VLC player supports files that QuickTime cannot play. There was a strong demand from all iPhone users for VLC player and there was an unofficial port that was available for jailbroken phones and this was more than two years ago.
Some special reports have been made about this new development and it says that this is a good development for all those who love media files. Charlie Sorrell of Wired.com said this was easy to use and very pretty compared to any desktop app. He is one of the people who have early hands on this new development. This remains versatile by getting every little feature associated with it. Initially, there were some bugs and errors in them and they have been fixed, so iPhone and iPod users will see a better and more advanced version or iteration of the model.
Old iPhone and iPod users will suffer
Surely, with this new development of VLC, the older iPhone and iPod users will be left behind. With official support, some of the major models include the iPhone 4 and 3GS, and their iPod touch counterparts would also be supported. However, all the remaining models would fall behind in these features as they have no processing power.
There are some other changes included in this VLC and that includes opening media files from Mail or Safari directly inside VLC, speed improvements and bug detection. With these features, you sure have to go far.
The desktop version of VLS has been known as the swiss army knife of media players, as it handles any audio and media player in almost all formats. Although the iOS version is very versatile, there have been some limitations on ARM-based processors. However, these will take care of all other media files and there are a number of codecs that are supported by VLC media player. All new iPhone and iPod users will benefit from this new development. VLC player has its own charm and will now add it to all new iPhone and iPod users.
