Multimedia, AV PureMobile sent us in a 16GB iPod Touch for the purposes of this article. This is one of the few times an - essentially - mp3 player comes with a powerful operating system (other examples include the Linux-based Archos and Sandisk offers). Read on for more.

Of course, on the desktop OS X, Divx/Xvid was never much of a problem. It is after all the second most widely used general purpose OS, it would be laughable if you couldn't get them to work. But the iPods/iPhones still have very limited video format playback option. Hopefully a solution will emerge for either the hacked devices or with the upcoming official SDK.

If there was ever any doubt that web-apps as the only official SDK is too limiting, just try write a video codec in Javascript ;)
