VLC won't be available on the App store for much longer (licensing issues), and using Handbrake to convert videos is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong. PS. Isn't the compression and quality (for the file size) for DivX also superior to MPEG-4 anyway?

iPod still can't really handle HD video even if it is converted to a friendly format _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

I am getting cautiosly optimistic about the Playbook. BlackBerry PlayBook and iPad Comparison: Web FidelityI have high hopes for the new QNX OS, it seems like a step in the right direction.

Why'd you want HD on a tiny display anyway?

So you can watch it *now* rather than re-encoding a sh*t load of video for the *special* device that can't play *normal* files? The main reason I don't really watch any video on my phone is simply because I CBA to convert it on the PC first... but then, my Nokia isn't supposed to be smart  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

Native downscaling, no need to re-encode + lower bitrate, easier to copy to/from source and no need to re-encode it And IF the Galaxy Tab supports it (the Galaxy S does... but only SD) output to a TV _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Galaxy Tab sold @ £469 on Amazon. Slightly less ridiculous price...

http://www.androidcentral.com/official- ... ad-mid-mayNot the latest piece of the hardware but I guess at £269.98 some people might be tempted, what do you think? Also this is quite be big thing from Sammy, in the past the were not so keen to issue updates for old models of phones. Maybe they are trying to improve their image since everybody and their dog is coming out with Androids stuff...
