Yes, you can copy video files to the camera roll directory of your phone and play them from there. There will be a try and buy version for the official release on Nov. 8. You are welcome to see it yourself. And for limited time only, it is $2.99.Will the pay version support playing files copied to the phone directly over USB? I've been waiting for VLC to come out and other "all format" versions have very odd requirements to upload to the music player over wifi or Bluetooth. If it works, I'd be glad to hand over 4 bucks.
