CineXPlayer, a free app for the iPad that plays back DivX video, was just released today and should be down within the week. Why? Well, generally anything that isn’t iTunes compatible is frowned upon, leading to many “homebrew” DivX implementations in the Cydia store but no real ones.

You can download the app right here and I’m wondering how this sneaked past the censors, especially since it duplicates features already found on the iPad and, in short, is really only for pirates.

Oh well, good luck, CineXPlayer. Grab it quick and enjoy some DivX.
