The popular Mac and Windows player, which allows users to play obscure video and audio codecs launched on the iPad a month ago and solved a host of media compatibility issues for owners of Apple's tablet.
Now version 1.1.0, which now works on iPhone 4, 3GS and recent incarnations of the iPod touch, offers playback of a few more file extensions and faster decoding. It also has the very handy add-on of being able to delete video files from the application without having to go through iTunes.
The app joins the VLC Remote app for iPhone, which turns your smartphone into a control for the PC version of the player.

| Wi-Fi only Samsung Galaxy Tab coming pre-Christmas? Posted: 25 Oct 2010 07:37 AM PDT Wi-Fi only Galaxy Tab to drop price of Samsung tablet A cheaper, Wi-Fi only version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab is expected to launch ahead of the Christmas rush after spy shots of a Best Buy sales catalogue revealed the existence of a silver Sammy tablet that has scrapped the 3G mobile internet signal.
Priced at $499 on the Verizon network, the Wi-Fi only Galaxy Tab is believed to be readying for a black Friday launch with the 7-inch, Android 2.2 devices further looking to challenge Apple’s market leading tablet the iPad which is available in a variety of storage sizes for both Wi-Fi only and Wi-Fi + 3G models.
Carphone Warehouse was the first distributor to announce pre-order prices for the Samsung Galaxy Tab Wi-Fi + 3G with the iPad competitor lining up at a hefty £499 subsidised by a monthly contract or £530 as a standalone device, a price point later matched be supermarket giant Tesco which began its own pre-orders shortly after.
Would a lower priced Wi-Fi only option tempt you in to buying the Samsung Galaxy Tab over the Apple iPad or other tablet devices? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

| T3 Readers: iPad 2 will be the 2011 Gadget of the Year Posted: 25 Oct 2010 06:50 AM PDT Apple's inevitable sequel will lap up honours, according to you Last week’s T3 poll results are in and the Apple iPad 2 is in first place as the predicted winner of the 2011 Gadget of the Year award. With 38.41% of the votes it seems that you, our discerning readers, believe that Apple will continue its stylish winning streak next year.
Our third place position went to the hi-tech and extremely fashionable HTC Desire HD with a vote of 16.19%, which isn’t all that surprising with the recent success and hype surrounding its launch. It seems not that many of you have faith in the sensor-tech-aided add-on that Microsoft believes will change gaming, as the controversial Microsoft Kinect came in fourth place with 9.21% of the vote.
