The upcoming OCZ Vertex 3 Pro has shattered all previous SSD benchmarks with 500 MBps read and write times. The gap between theoretical speeds and real world testing is finally coming to a close. The widely popular Plex Media Server app for Mac and PC is now available on Android. Using your Android smartphone as a client, you can access your entire media library on the go and even stream from dozens of sites such as Netflix, Hulu and Revision 3.
Last up this morning is a bit of good news for original HTC Desire, Desire HD and Desire Z owners.
