    Yup, here's hoping that the UI improvements filter down to the other apps too!

    Sounds great, just hope all the relevant codecs are in there and that multi-language support is implemented

    Quite a contrast in the usefulness of Kickstarter. Gizmodo doesn't think crowdsourcing in general works (in an anti-buzzword article), but this particular case shows how funds like Kickstarter can be used to help provide visibility to existing developments and bring in new ways to achieve goals.

    As always, results will tell the story in the end.

    Not exactly related but does anyone know if VLC have started making a 64bit version of this player? I only seem to be able to find the 32bit version.

    as long as this integrates well with the SOCs that will support Windows 8 (to allow hardware acceleration) then this will be a welcome addition. Here's to hoping that we will get a stable release on Android sometime soon.
