Good news for the life and utility of your USB hard drives, Pogoplug is here to breathe new life into world. The Pogoplug turns any USB storage whether it be a bus-powered portable or a 1.5TB mega drive into a internet available storage device. With a quick and free account setup via the intarwebs you are able to access your connected storage device (or devices... multiple drives can be attached to one Pogoplug with a hub). Years back, Mirra (acquired by Seagate) had a similar service but with very different hardware which worked well enough. They aren't talking up the access speed so don't expect to be streaming movies but (what do you expect for free) moving documents and such should be fine. They made a point to mention that iPhone users will be able to access the site as well. The only real concern for this device is the health of the Pogoplug as a company. The website seems to be the only way to get to your Pogoplug files but at $79 with NO service charge or monthly fees the rewards really outweigh the risks. Pre-order now on their light-hearted website. About Everything USB
