Android with video playback and support.
If Pc and Mac are considered as the king of video format support then android is the prince. Open source makes it more compatible with almost all the video format than other mobile operating systems. Even if a particular android device doesn't supports a video format then also the user can download additional codecs from the Google play store. Codecs are available for all chip-sets. Additionally video players are also available for better taste and preferences.
But among them only one stands out to compete even with a low end pc. That is the legendary Mx player. It is the best feature rich proper video player like Vlc media player on PC and Mac. Unfortunately the android version of Vlc media player literally sucks because of lack of codecs and limited hardware support. whereas Mx player is player which supports every kind of chipsets (ARM,x86 etc) even low end broadcom chipsets are supported as well.
The major improvement of video format support in android came after the release of Android Ice-cream sandwich (4.0) which enabled hardware as well software acceleration in video encoding in android. I have used all blackberry, Windows phone (which sucks), Iphone, Symbian devices none of them have that much video format support which android consists. Mp4, AVI, MKV, WMA, FLV, Xvid, H.264 all works blazing fast on android. In addition side-loading of videos is too simple as drag and drop (or copy and paste). Although earlier when mobile phones were on their rise we had to manually convert the videos to the supported format of the devices but today it's very convenient and easy.
That's all.
That's all.
