Plex Media Center App Now Available For Android In The Market

Plex, a popular media streaming application for the iOS platform has finally made its way over to Android.  The application allows you to bridge the gap between your home theater and favorite Android smartphone seamlessly and without effort.  Ok, maybe it will take a little effort.  The Plex app touts a nice and friendly, yet a clean and attractive UI for Android devices.  You can gain quick access to all of your media content at home and the app supports a wide range of various photo, audio and video formats.  
The mobile application syncs instantly with your desktop application so you can finish that movie where you left off on your Android device while on the go, should you require it.  The developers also promise that remote control integration is “coming soon” and will allow you to control any Plex content running from home remotely or locally through the mobile application.
The app will run you $4.99 but could serve as a sufficient alternative to those who have been waiting patiently for the NetFlix app to arrive.  We’ve also seen a number of plugins with the desktop application that allow you to tap into services such as Hulu and NetFlix.  So here’s to hoping a number of plugins will be concocted for the mobile app.  Let us know what you think in the comments below.  Is $4.99 a deal breaker for you?
