Some people prefer BS Player:

^BS Player has the Pop-up video feature like that found in the S3 and Note II.
Super Video, Floating & Popup is another I've heard of:

^Like its title, it also allows you to pop up the video as a window so you can do other things while watching video.

It's out now, or soon?

Goodbye.
CM10 has been out for quite a while now. Stable too.
And a few days ago, a group released 4.2.1 pre-alpha. This one is definitely not a daily driver as there are still a ton of stuff not working.

I'm running the latest CM10..it's wonderful..just make sure you install an app that will shutdown the touchpad when battery is low.

HP to release a tablet
Windows, Schmindows: HP To Sell $169 Android Tablet In April
Hewlett-Packard Co announced the launch of a $169 tablet powered by the Android operating system, a centerpiece of the company's effort to expand in mobile devices and reduce its dependence on the shrinking personal computer market.
The launch of the Slate 7 marks HP's latest foray into the consumer tablet market. It follows the 2011 failure of its WebOS-based TouchPad, which the company stopped selling after just seven weeks, citing poor demand.
Powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the Slate 7 offers Google Inc services including search functions, YouTube and Gmail, as well as Beats Audio for improved sound, HP said.
The 13-ounce device also includes access to apps and digital content through Google Play, and cameras on both sides of the 7-inch screen.
HP said it expects U.S. sales of the Slate 7 to begin in April, and said the product offer a "compelling entry point" for people looking to buy tablets.
Google's Nexus 7 tablet costs $199, as does Amazon.com Inc's Kindle Fire HD.
HP also makes the ElitePad tablet for businesses, which is powered by Microsoft Corp's Windows 8. WebOS had been developed by Palm Inc, which HP bought in 2010.
The Slate7 is part of a multi-year plan by HP Chief Executive Meg Whitman to turn around the Silicon Valley icon.
HP in recent years has struggled with costly acquisitions, management turnover, governance issues, and falling sales and margins from PCs, where the Palo Alto, California-based company still has the largest U.S. market share.
Shares of HP closed Friday 12.3 percent higher at $19.20 on the New York Stock Exchange, a day after HP reported quarterly results and an outlook that exceeded analysts' forecasts.
The company's market value has nevertheless dropped by nearly two-thirds since April 2010.

Like I said I only use my TP for my forearm workout videos...
It works so no need to upgrade.

You may be 100% correct; but comparing apples to oranges I really like ICS on my Skyrocket phone better than JB on the NX10 tablet. There is a list I could go through, but who cares.

Mandatory webOS system update
A certificate used on webOS devices expires on July 23, 2013. For the system to be able to use cloud services such as Backup/Restore and App Catalog the certificate needs to be updated.
Beginning June 6th an automatic update to the Application Catalog has replaced the certificate. That means that if your device is running webOS “2.1” or greater you can have the certificate installed automatically by activating your device and accepting the update.
If your device is running a webOS version older than “2.1”, or you want to manually install, go to the HP App Catalog on your device and select the app called “App Catalog Update”, download and install it on your system.
To install the new certificate, download and install this application.
After July 23rd, 2013, it will be necessary to take special steps to install this update. Details will be available on the HP support site (http://email.hpwebosnewsletters.com/...Jf0PTn04Cpr0GP)
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Does it still have that glitch where the power runs out = fail?
