Applidium reported that they have seen 125,000 downloads of their VLC application for the iPad.  This is a whole lot of download for one day when you consider that it is for iPad only.

Applidium now has to work hard and quick on improving the product to make it truely usefull.  I fear that in it’s current form those 125,000 will have a low retention rate.  I, for one, will not use the application until some major changes are made and new features added.

I already spoke about those in a previous post and won’t repeat them here.

Applidium just posted the following:

After several month of porting, we are proud to announce the release of VLC for the iPad! This application stands out for two reasons. First, it will be available for free on the AppStore. But that’s not all. VLC is an OpenSource project. We are currently preparing our patches for submission to the main VLC tree. And obviously, we will release our current working tree when the app will hit the AppStore.

If everything goes well, VLC for the iPad should be available next week. To celebrate this release, we’re organizing a game. To be won: a copy of VLC of the iPad, one week before the official release! All you have to do is to follow @applidium on Twitter. We will randomly pick 5 people out of our followers on Sunday, and we’ll send them their own version of VLCfor the iPad!

To use the 10.6.3 DVD you *must* use NBI 0.8.4 RC1 or later. If you do, it will install without issues.

The 10.6.4 update also applies without any issues (again, tested with 0.8.4 RC1). NBI automatically runs after the update and patches the machine. Afterwards, it works just like before.

One user commented that the new kernel does not change the pm version, and as such, you need to manually specify pmVersion=19 (or =0) if you use SleepEnabler.kext instead of the native power management.
