Could ipods and android phones play same movie formats?

by osde8info

I downloaded a bunch of movies for my ipod touch, but then it broke. I’m plotting to buy an Android 2.2 phone and was just wandering if they have the same record formats so I can play the movies I already downloaded.

Well, if you bought the vids on iTunes, then no they are most likely protected and would not work on an android phone.
But, with any additional, non-protected file, the android device should be able to play anything the iPod was able to play, plus much, much more.

Alright as of now I am pretty familiar with the Java brainwashing language. I have also read through the android developer site on how to make a few things. I’m looking for something that will show me how to use these things in specific examples. Is there a book or something that I may maybe maybe buy? Are there any Android developers out there and if so where did you start?
