Snapdragon S4 it isn't a Cortex A9 technology platform. It's more close and identified with Cortex A15, already that it has 3.3MIPS/MHz and A15 it has 3.5MIPS/MHz which makes the closest and it has other technologies close to A15. Cortex A9 has a processing power of 2.5MIPS/MHz.

Ok. i'm all for VLC on android, and windows phone, and everything. I use VLC on all my computers. BUT...
more then a year ago VLC was ported to IOS and then 1 guy who worked on it caused to to get pulled from the app store. If this goes to android will VLC then be making a return to IOS?

It was my understanding that it was nuthing to do with the developers who ported VLC to IOS that got it removed from apple app store but instead it was due to the fact the Apple added in security so that you were forced to download from the market and not able to download from other sources and install on ios devices. By apple adding that copy protection violated the GNU liscense of vlc and the original developers of VLC demanded it be removed due to that

To all Galaxy S2 owners..dont be confused. The Exynos chipsets in our phones are Cortex-9 so go for that version. Except for T-mobile's GS2 which has a Snapdragon.

And the player is pretty cool btw!
