I dont own an iPhone..yet, but am getting o the point where i need a new phone. I just wanted to clarify if video playback support on the iPhone is limited to Apple's supported formats ?

Is there an App on the iPhone(locked), like VLC, where you can play DivX/Xvid formated videos ?

Cheers

Since mduell didn't answer your question, the answer is:

No. Not at the moment.
