The Plex app is a companion to the Plex media server that runs on any Mac. Plex has among the best user interfaces for streaming video and audio on the iPad. The app provides all the meta data of your content, which lets you see detailed information on every TV show, movie, or song on your Mac. The app also supports some picture, video, and music plugins. The picture plugin will let you stream your iPhoto library to your iPad (including events, albums, keywords, and ratings). The video plugins offer access to some online video providers such as Revision3. The music plugin provides access to your iTunes library organized by playlists, podcasts, audiobooks, genres, decades, ratings, recently added, recently played, and most played. While it's feature-rich, it is not an essential app because of problems connecting to the Plex server. When Plex does connect, it's an awesome experience.

Air Video HD is a slick app that lets users install a media server on their PC or Mac computer (Linux coming soon) and then link it with the iOS app to be able to stream all of your media to the iOS device. It's great for those who have amassed large collections of various media and want to take it with them on-the-go. The app has a sleek interface that is easy to navigate and use, and you also have the option of downloading files to local iOS storage if you won't have a stable internet connection, given that you have the necessary space for the files, of course. Either way, Air Video HD is a sick media player that can stream entire libraries with ease, and is a must for any movie buff who prefers to watch their own movies whenever they want.
