We’ve praised Plex prior to now for delivering us box-free XMBC and for it’s prodigious media streaming proficiency . Problem is, its app wasn’t optimized for the Honeycomb OS and the upsized screen real estate of Android slates — formerly. With the updated code comes tablet-friendly layouts and fast-scrolling in all grid and list views so that you can zip through your large local media library. Additionally it is direct play and internet streaming sans-transcoding (like the recently revised iOS app ) for sating those immediately vid cravings. The improvements serve smaller Android devices in addition, which makes the newly egalitarian app more enticing than ever before. Better of all, it’s still only five bucks.
