Interesting player, but I'm afraid it lacks certain basic things.
I'll try to put my impressions in separate points:
* Unable to play MPEG-4 ASP avi files, while they are stated to be supported. Rock/Mobo play these files just fine.
* There is no media info as in other players
* There is no skip forward/backward feature in settings
* The playback information is strongly dependent on the device used and video specs. Those codecs/formats natively supported by Android will use HW decoding. The rest will use SW decoding, which is still fine.
* Trial is only 3 days. This is a bit too short to evaluate an application fully.
* The UI is very primitive. Please look at how well Mobo has made it.
I strongly suggest to improve this player with extra features and make 2 versions of it: one for free and one paid with extra features. As it is now, I'm afraid I still prefer the free Mobo/Vital players..
Maybe I am missing something, but aren't virtually all 720p/1080p mkv files going to be too big to be on an android phone? Isn't the max file 2gb for the file system android uses?

The SD cards in Android phones support FAT32 system, which allows file sizes up to 4GB.
The full hd videos can have different sizes, but they are rarely larger than 4GB.
So, you don't have to worry about the file size.

I'm not sure where you get your full HD videos from, but mine (sourced from my own Blu-rays, or saved from DVB-S2 Broadcasts) are invariably much larger than 4GB. In the case of Watchmen it's 38GB!!

If your files are that large, then a sensible approach is to convert them to smaller size files for mobile viewing. You can have the resulting videos smaller than 4GB and with good quality. This addresses also the limited storage issue on the phone.
MX Video Player says that harware decoding is not available on my Tegra 2 Sony S1......
Also the sound cuts out for mkvs unless I specifically select the prologic track rather than the default dts track. (Although at least it gives the option of selecting audio tracks which most other players do not)
