Plex runs on a computer at home. You then stream that computer's media over the Internet on the iPad/iPhone using the Plex app. To make things super-easy you can register your home Plex server on myPlex and sign into it using myPlex on the iPad/iPhone.
Bam! No need to bring a computer OR move files to the device. You can even stream over 3G with pretty decent quality.

- rytis 14y agoSome people go where there is no 3G/WiFi coverage. Sometimes it's also financially not feasible to do this (think roaming costs). Example - a ferry trip from UK to France. No 3G for about 1.5hrs, or in other words - no 3G for a average length movie.
