Bangalore: VLC is most widely utilized media player for Linux, Windows and Mac computer across the globe and now it's time for android mobile operating system to make full use of it. The player was supposed to launch in early 2011 but due to some technical difficulties, the app got delayed. The developer of VLC said, there are two builds available of VLC for Android, known as NEON and NONEON. The difference is in the processor type. Because VLC for Android makes use of the NDK (Native Development Kit), it is compiling native-level binaries that will only work on the processor class for which they were designed. This means that the same build will not work across all devices. This VLC player is compatible with devices running version 2.1 and above.
