VLC Video Player Coming to iPad
As first reported by Mac4Ever, 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.
VLC (Video Lan Client) is a very popular open source media player for the Mac and other platforms. One of its strengths is the ability to play a wide variety of video formats (chart) and streaming support. We should expect the iPad release as early as next week.Top Rated Comments

If I'm wrong, and Apple let's this app through, then I REALLY hope it comes out for the iPod Touch soon too!
This would be incredible! But with the way Apple has been moving in the last few years, I think they'll kill this app. Apple is the most NON-open company around today. I'm a fan of their products in every aspect but this one (and the lack of Blu-ray).
This has nothing to do with why they'd not approve this app. :rolleyes: Apple is as open as they've always been : http://opensource.apple.com/. Notice some of the iOS source is there.
If anything, they'll say it duplicates existing functionality.
Perfect timing too. My ipad should be here next week :D
My jaw dropped when I read that! This is great news and so much potential. I just hope my expectations are not too high.
+10000!
