Get organized! Or get zombified! Either way, this week’s roundup of iPhone and iPad apps has you covered....

Popular all-purpose video player app CineXPlayer just hit version 2.8, offering a few useful features like IMDb integration, split-screen watching / web browsing mode, and the ability to remote control the app from any browser. The oddly named "Screenager" mode is the real centerpiece here, which lets you flip your iPad to portrait mode and use half the screen for watching video and half the screen for browsing the web. There are also a variety of other features power users will appreciate, like movie...

OPlayer, from olimsoft, is an iOS application for both iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad, that claims to boost your device’s media capabilities by allowing playback of a huge list of audio and video file formats.

The iPad's potential as a personal video device is handicapped pretty severely by the limited file formats it supports. CineXPlayer, the latest app to sneak past the App Store approval squad, helpfully plays Xvid videos with zero conversion required. Just like last week's ill-fated MiTube, CineXPlayer's stay in the App Store will likely be a brief one, so you should grab it now before it gets yanked. But when you do have it, CineXPlayer lets you drop AVI videos encoded with the Xvid codec right onto...

In a surprise move, Apple has today approved CineXPlayer for the iPad, which is a free application that allows you to watch Xvid movies on your device. Great news for those of you out there with a collection of Xvid video files you would previously have had to convert before you could watch on your iPad, but is this just another app that’s temporarily slipped through Apple’s net? Apple doesn’t normally approve apps of this kind for the App Store and famously stands by the MPEG-4 and H.264 formats, brush...
