> It’s not impossible to put your own digital files on a smart phone and view them, but it seems significantly more difficult and annoying than doing the same on a personal computer.
Plex. It's an app. And you don't even have to put the files on the phone... you just stream to the phone from hardware at home. Problem's already been solved on the technology end of it.
I'm not saying that _I_ can't manage to do it. But I want it to be as easy as it is on a computer. Plug in a USB, navigate the file system. Drop the files where I want. I don't want to set up a streaming server in my house just because smart phones are terrible.
