OK, I got myself an Incredible on launch day. Overall, I like the device but 2 things right now are pointing me to return it.
1) Lack of Cisco VPN for Android. WTF?
This is a big BUG request. I don't want to root my phone:
Issue 3902 - android - Feature Request: "pure" ipsec vpn client (cisco-compatible) - Project Hosting on Google Code
2) I cannot believe this device does not play at least 720p video with the 1 GHZ SnapDragon CPU. I am reading this board and everyone is suggesting that the videos be resized to 800X480?
What? There are some Chinese low-end devices w/ Rockchip CPUs running at 600 mhz that can play 720p and some 1080p content with NO conversions.
For example, I bought a Viewsonic VPD400 ($60 from CompUSA) and it plays any and every wmv, mp4, mov,divx,h.264 at 1280x720 (720p) with no problems as long as I have a Class 6 micro SDHC card.
Why can't the Incredible with its super fast CPU ?
Can someone point me to any app in the app store that will allow me to play videos with no conversions or at least support H.264 720p? The iPad with a 1ghz cpu can play 7000k bitrate 720p .m4v/mp4 files with zero problems. I assume the Snapdragon is faster than Apple's A4 cpu.
