VLC for iPad Rolling Out to App Stores Around the World, iPhone Version Under Development
Earlier this month, we noted that an iPad version of the popular VLC media player had been created and submitted to Apple for inclusion in the App Store. Early previews of the application suggested that the application would be a solid and versatile offering despite a few limitations.
The application's developers, Applidium, now report that VLC Media Player for iPad has been accepted and has begun to roll out to App Stores around the world, making its first appearance in the New Zealand store.
After 2 weeks of review, VLC for the iPad is eventually available on the AppStore! The release date is set to Tuesday, Sept. 21, so depending on your timezone, it should be available pretty soon.
Users will be able to find VLC Media Player at the following link once it becomes available in their local App Store:- VLC Media Player
Applidium also announced that it has begun working on a version of VLC for the smaller screen of the iPhone and iPod touch. No release date for the iPhone version is yet known.
Update: VLC Media Player now appears to be available worldwide.

Unless you have an iDisk to store files on, I don't see how this is beneficial.

It's just like other apps that need a "file system" like Comic Reader, etc. You use iTunes. Within the app interface, you can drag and drop files into the applications specifically.
Ultimately, iOS needs a unified file system, but there's still something workable right now.

Two question here:
1.How do you sync video content to your iPXXYY, manually as a removable hard disk?
2.So what? is VLC more power efficient than the standart video player, or it can play codec other than MPEG-4 like FLV or AVI, WMV like the version under Mac OS X:confused:?

Most likely, osmosis.
jk, Here's how it will most likely work: once you install it on your iPad, if you go to the apps tab when your iPad is connected, scroll all the way down, and you'll see VLC on the left. Click on it, and you will see options to transfer files to and from. That's the standard file transfer protocol for 3rd-party apps at this time.
Edit: Woops, someone beat me to it. But I still own the osmosis answer.
