I was interested in particular in how wellthey integrate Android tablets and Google TV. On looks and apparent tight integration between my existing Android-based devices, Idecided to check out Plex’s two Android apps. Online channels include Hulu, Vimeo and more. Plex for Android, an app from Plex, is available for US$4.99 at Google Play.Plex is a good looking media platform for running media files on Google TV, tablets,phones and so on.
