VLC MOBILE version coming soon?

[mySpaceTimFrentz]

I looked all over and can not find any talk about VLC development for a Mobile OS version.

Someone tell me why or direct me the thread where it is being discused please.

thank you,

There are nightly builds available for Windows CE: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/wince/?C=M;O=D
And a version for Maemo (Mobile Linux used on some Nokia phones) is also under development.

For iPhone/iPad it will (probably) never be available. For Android I think the same is true.

Also there is a PSP version available somewhere, you will probably be able to find it via google.

I saw a version of VLC for the iPhone, but it requires a jail broken iPhone to work and Cydia. I have no idea whether there were issues making it available through the official channels or if they actually tried? A brief look suggests they might not have and probably to make it useful without hacks they would need to focus on retrieving files via an http source or a streaming protocol.

The best link I have is this: http://www.zodttd.com/wiki/index.php/Vlc4iphone and the source is referenced in the page.

Maybe someone could work with what ZodTTD has done and add the necessary extra mile to make it work on a non-jail broken iPhone, and also see whether on principle Apple would accept it in the app store.

What?

No Android version of VLC?

That can't be the truth.

I hope the increasing popularity of the Android OS will lead to a reconsidering of not having VLC on this platform.

So we really need to have an official version. I already read of some portations, but nothing clear nor "official", so I'm still waiting.

It just can't be that the more or less "exotic" Nokia Linux (not even all Nokia types got that) is the only one with a mobile version of the best media player in the world.
