AVI files playback on iPad
AVI files playback on iPad
According to Apple’s iPad tech specs, the iPad does indeed support a type of AVI video:
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
AVI, the audio-video interleave is a container introduced by Microsoft. Motion JPEG is a type of AVI compression. While AVI in general is ubiquitous for standard definition video content on the internet, there’s no indication Apple is supporting the specific XviD/Divx codec (encoding/decoding) used by those AVI files.

Its a well made product and fits the iPad well. Very happy with the purchase.
The neoprene lip inside to avoid accidental slipping out of the iPad was a pleasant surprise.

This was an ok choice to get me by until the major case producers released their custom designed iPad cases. It’s a bit too big and baggy overall, obviously designed for a netbook that’s a little larger and thicker. Note that there are two plastic pockets inside of it that will stick to a screen saver if you’ve installed one on your iPad. I had to be careful of this though it doesn’t damage anything, but it was annoying to have to peel the two apart. Overall it will work ok for you while you wait to find the case that you really want to use that is actually built for an iPad. For the price it was hard to go wrong.
