VLC Remote Control is a slick new app from Chocolate Chunk Apps that lets you control your VLC player from your BlackBerry. It is one of the coolest new applications I use on my BlackBerry and I highly recommend it. In case you don’t know VLC is a popular and FREE video player for Windows, Mac, and many other operating systems that plays practically anything you throw at it.
