VLC 4 Iphone

We all heard of VLC Player for your PC, well now its here for the iPhone / iTouch. You will need a jailbroken phone with cydia to get it on your phone.

Seems like its only out for beta testing but we got a source that lets you test as well



To install:

1. Start Cydia
2. Click Manage
3. Click Sources
4. Click Edit
5. Click Add and add 'www.iphone.org.hk/apt'
6. Goto Changes in cydia and you should see VLC Player at the top click to install

source article with video

Im waiting to buy a new touch and if it were in the app store this would be the very first app I would download. Shame that a community project like VLC which is on most top ten app lists for OSX may never make it to the touch.

It's great that it's being actively ported... excellent. But I do wonder.

So is VLC capable of saving content on the iPhone? It's still unable to access the media library, correct? Practically speaking, what can you do with VLC on the iPhone?
