One of the most used media player, VLC or video lan client is now available for the ANdroid mobile operating system.
But this is not official release. This is released by an independent developer as alpha release.This is in no way related to the VLC developers. As VLC is an open source project independent developers are allowed to make changes to the software in order to make use of that.
“There are two builds available of VLC for Android, known as NEON and NONEON. The difference is in the processor type. Because VLC for Android makes use of the NDK (Native Development Kit), it is compiling native-level binaries that will only work on the processor class for which they were designed. This means that the same build will not work across all devices,” the developer advices through his website.
