VLC For Android May Arrive In Early 2011

dkd903 writes "The development of an Android client for VLC has been going on for months now, but it has been slowed down by the fact that Android's multimedia output libraries are in Java. VLC itself is based on C and so translating them to Java is difficult and takes time. With the newer Android NDK, however, using native codes for Android apps has been becoming easier. So, the VLC developers have developed two basic modules for audio and video output based on the new NDK and most of the VLC libraries have been ported to Android."

What the fuck?
Windows 7 Desktop Sharing? by Doc+Ruby · 2010-12-25 08:33 · Score: 0, Offtopic

I know it's not VNC (or is it?) or Android, but I'm looking for a way to share my local Windows 7 desktop across the LAN to another Windows 7 user who watches as I do something onscreen. And a recorder to play it back. If the recorder can take a microphone narration, that's perfect.
Is something like that built into Windows 7? Or is there a free app that can do it?
