I love the VLC media-player and use it on all my computers and OSes.

Now, finally, VLC is available as a free app for the iPad, although not yet for the iPhone or iPod Touch. This Lifehacker post describes how to use it which is not at all difficult. Other than the ease of use of VLC, a further advantage for me is that I will no longer have to convert .avi movies to .m4v to get them to play on the iPad. Unfortunately, this means I may no longer have to use the excellent AirVideo again. #vlc
