[UPDATE] Dice Player ad-supported version now live on the Market!

We've run a couple of pieces talking about the difficulties that Android developer Inisoft has faced in the last month or so since Google pulled their Google Checkout account, including a wee update regarding Inisoft's plans for tackling their problems a couple of days ago.

Since I made that post Inisoft have actioned one part of their new distribution plan for full versions of Dice Player, and readers who have been unable to get a full version of Dice Player up till now will no doubt be relieved to know that a full ad-supported version of Dice Player is now available in the Android Market.

To get your hands on it hit up the link here, or point your Android devices barcode scanner at this:

    @Anon: Yep, they have pushed out about 5 updates in the month since El Goog pulled their paid app privileges. This ad-supported version is the full version too, so should see updates as they come for the full version.

    @Anon: Who knows, Google isn't saying anything. It certain that it isn't for them being malware or anything of that kind since Google is allowing their continued presence in the Market for all activities except paid apps...

    Thanks very much for the heads up. It was good to finally try Dice Player : )

    The most positive thing for me is that normally on my HTC Sensation all my films (MP4/h264 - all sorts of bit rates tried) play with slight stutters when viewed via the HTC media app and MHL adapter to my TV. It has been driving me nuts. They play fine on the phone itself, but not once I plug in the MHL cable. Using Dice player they are suddenly playing almost perfectly smoothly on the TV. Cool!

    The only negative I have found is that many files that play in software mode are very jerky. At first I thought it was down to my chipset but then I tried MX Video Player and the same files are perfectly smooth when it software renders them. Weird eh? These are mostly MPEG2 files at 15M/Bps with MP3 audio at 256kbps created by a tv card in my pc. If Dice Player could match that and had the idiot proof DLNA capabilties of HTC's media app, it really would be perfect solution for me : )

    They deserve to be getting paid for their app : (
