Videolan has submitted their VLC for iPad app to the App Store this week, giving users a chance to playback all different types of video files on their tablet.
While we still wait for Apple's official blessing, the site AppAdvice was given a test build of the universal binary, and they put up a small preview.
The app supports Xvid, AVI, and DivX file formats flawlessly, as well as MKV, a container normally used for high-resolution video.
Unfortunately, unlike other third-party media players, VLC will not let you access your videos wirelessly from other computers, but that is hardly a deal breaker.
VLC for iPad is still pending approval, but should appear in the App Store next week, for free.
