The XBMC team have released the first ARM version of their media centre software.  Designed for the second generation Apple TV, it frees a Jailbroken £99 plastic puck from the iTunes walled garden and opens it up to become the sort of player we're all looking for.  While Plex has been on the ATV2 since last November, this is the first release from the XBMC team.  However this is described as "full blown" XBMC running on the A4 powered iOS devices (including the iPad and iPhone 4).  Check out the videos after the jump...

Friends of Automated Home, WeGotServed.com have just published this video from CES showing an LG NetCast Smart TV running Plex.  The UI looks exceptional for something that's built into a telly (checkout 'Powered by Plex" in the top right hand corner).  Last week brought you news of the LG ST600 and speculated that Plex would most likely be included in it too. We believe the ST600 is the identical (1080p capable) hardware that's going inside the 2011 LG NetCast HDTVs and Blu-ray players, but despite this, "Media Link" (LG speak for Plex) doesn't appear to be included in the the TV Upgrader from what  we can see in this video.  Tell us it isn't so LG?? This is the box we're all waiting for to bring Plex to all our existing HDTVs!

What's this? LG just released PR on this little black box - the ST600 - which bears a striking resemblance to the Apple TV.  At just 11cms square the Wi-Fi equipped unit gives any old flat screen DLNA streaming playback as well as a web browser and various other LG apps (any of this sounding familiar?).  Read on for the skinny ahead of the launch at next weeks CES....
