Plex for Android, Plex for Google TV and the inevitability of Mayan predictions.
It’s a little known fact that 11/11/11 is the day the Mayans predicted that Plex for Android and Plex for Google TV would split. Take a look at this tablet found in some ancient Mayan ruins:
Why are we doing this? For two main reasons 1) we plan on taking the products in different directions because of their different areas of focus and 2) ensuring that we can rapidly deploy fixes for each platform without jeopardizing the stability of the other. Having different products in the google market is the best way to bring you the very best of Plex on both platforms.
To help those who purchased Plex for Android for use on the Google TV, we’ve priced the Plex for Google TV app at just $0.99 for the first week (the lowest price that Google Market permits).
Get your copy soon because 2012 is rapidly approaching and I don’t have to tell you what the Mayan’s predicted about 2012.

Late Edit: Oh and both Plex for Android and Plex for Google TV have quite a few bug fixes in the most current releases! Enjoy.

So sorry – everyone – we accidentally had comments turned off!! One thing we didn’t mention here is that both the mobile client and Google TV have quite a few bug fixes in the most current releases!
Enjoy!

I went to buy both of these as i know the low price will not last. unfortunately you cannot buy the apps if you dont have registered devices
and i dont have a google phone nor google TV.
Will us Logitech revue owners also get this deal since we can’t purchase it now? Thanks.
also a revue owner who can’t order yet! I already run plex media server…
Ross, Jeff, xtek – thanks so much for your posts. The reason for the price reduction is to ease the pain for those who have purchased Plex for Android – for use on their Google TV. These folks paid $4.99 for the original app which is not on an upgrade path for Google TV. They will now have to uninstall Plex for Android, purchase and install Plex for Google TV AND then let us know that they need a refund if they no longer want Plex for Android. We’ve lowered the price temporarily to ease their pain. Thanks for understanding.
Well this sucks with logitech pulling out of Google TV i was going to wait till Q1 of 2012 to see what new player google will find to fill logitech’s shoes so i am going to have to re-buy the app for another $5. Looks like i will have to do a aspire revo after all
This looks great! I wish there was a way to get plex on my apple TV!
Awesome job guys! I have my plex server all setup and I’m just waiting for Logitech to finish with the update.
Sorry Jeremy – not entirely following here. The Sony Blu-ray Google TV is another good choice.
