silvarios--you have an Android device? That might help explain the appeal of the off-off-off-brand Plex choice, in an already-minimal saturation (for media serving appliances) market.
I'm not following. Plex is a fork of XBMC, the latter predates the Apple TV and most other media boxes.
Various devices that have interfaced with my Plex Media Server: 2nd gen Apple TV (via AirPlay), 2nd gen iPod touch, Nook Color, Nook Tablet, Sony HDTV (via the recently implemented DLNA feature), Nokia e72 (DLNA as well, although it mostly works as a controller, not media viewer), and four different Roku boxes.
Interesting tidbit, without Plex or another similar solution, my iPod touch would be much less useful for accessing my home media collection. I'm stuck on iOS 4.2.1, which means no Home Sharing from iTunes to my iPod touch.
