codenamed Gotham, is now ready for your official beta-
testing pleasure. The foundation -- which started the
project for the Xbox and spawned apps like Plex and
platforms like Boxxee -- kicked off work on the update
nearly a year ago. It said that many of the qualms from
version 12 (Frodo) users have been addressed. Most
notably, it now supports native hardware decoding on
Android for x86 and ARM platforms, which should
bring smoother playback for formats like Blu-ray. Other
improvements include support for more 3D formats
(with the notable exception of 3D Blu-ray), better
touchscreen support, enhanced UPnP capability,
"dramatic" audio engine improvements and easier setup.
Though nightly versions have been available for a
while, the company provided the usual caveats about
beta software and the importance of backing up. If
you're unperturbed by that, hit the source.
