VLC player has been around for quite sometime and most of us are quite familiar with it. Its an open source media player that plays almost any video format. The traffic cone player is one of the most convenient and light weight multi-platform video players. It’s been available for absolutely no cost for a long time and now you can download it for your iPad free of cost. How cool is that?

Only recently Apple started to approve Google Voice based apps one by one and now they’ve approved a video player, proving their leniency to the world. VLC has all the features that we love in the iPad app. It’ll play all kinds of video formats which means you no longer have to convert videos into an Apple-friendly format. That’s not all, just like on your desktop, VLC for iPad is also capable of playing broken, incomplete and damages video files.

If you’re wondering whether you’re iPhone will ever have the VLA app then you should know that Applidium, the makers of the app, are working on an iPhone version according to their announcement. Even though the release of this app is major good news, I can’t help but wish the app icon had a traffic cone on it as well.
