It is a post by the app developer. Considering that they got an app approved by Apple's draconian submittal process, for an app that allows users to bypass the iTunes store for their media, it sounds like maybe they do know something. It is possible that it got approved because its performance was no threat to the built-in player.

The iPad 2 almost surely has a hardware decoder just like all of the previous Apple mobile devices.

Of course it has and so does the iPad 3 which we're talking about here. It is only programmed to decode mp4 and mov container formats though. The developers mentioned that they have code that performs better but that it accesses resources that Apple forbids apps to access so they can't incorporate it. Face it, Apple sucks. But the hardware is unbelievable. That's why I am pursuing this.
