VLC media player was just updated as a universal app for iPhone and iPad in the App Store. The popular, open source, cross platform media player has been a favorite on Windows, OS X and Linux for years.

Awhile back, VLC released an iPad app in the App Store, and surprisingly the app was approved. VLC for iPhone allows you to play nearly every kind of video format known to man. The app clearly duplicates (and in my opinion, makes better) the video playback functionality of the the native iPod app. So, it’s interesting that Apple has finally approved it.

The developers of the VideoLAN player just got the VLC 1.1.0 update approved, which lets VLC run on the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and recent iPod touch models. I downloaded the app, and I was impressed.

There is a lot of talk about cloud computing, and accessing files that would normally be stored on a desktop or laptop with a mobile device. If you don’t have a Pogoplug, may I suggest Air Sharing.

Air Sharing is an app that allows you the user to mount an iPhone or iPod Touch as a Wi-Fi drive on your computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) or connect from your computer’s web browser. You can then drag and drop files between and iPhone, or iPod touch and your computer. It also allows for viewing email documents in many common formats and sending email attachments.

You should be able to get it for the iDevice platform for $2.99.

Adobe is no stranger to releasing development products for a wide array of different platforms. As all of you probably know, their line up of graphics design programs such as Photoshop is pretty much the go to solution when it comes to any form of graphics manipulation. However, with other products like Dreamweaver and Flash on the market, they have given developers the chance to easily create great products with a little bit of know how.

Another platform they have is Adobe AIR which allows developers to code a product once, and have it available for several different platforms. Currently, Adobe AIR runs on Mac, Windows, Linux and even iOS. However, today, it was made known that Adobe AIR is now available for Google’s Android mobile operating system. This is gtreat for developers who have already produced a product with Adobe AIR and are looking to get it into the hands of even more consumers.

Unfortunately, those not running Android 2.2 will be disappointed to hear that the platform is Froyo exclusive.
