The Pogoplug has apparently had enough success with their landmark product and are releasing a 2nd version. The new version bumps the price up $30 which is still a bargain for what you are getting. The new Pogoplug has 4 available USB connections which can be attached to practically any USB storage device. Once connected all your files are available from any Internet location in your Pogoplug account. The upgraded system can now link multiple Pogoplugs to a single account. iPhone support has just been added. You can access and play movies on your iPhone as well as send iPhone camera images directly to your home system. We use a Windows Home Server, and LogMeIn Hamachi in order to get 'almost' the same thing. The only thing missing from the Pogoplug equation is some sort of data redundancy support. Purchasing a USB RAID device like the WD MyBook would make for a great companion for the Pogo system. Pogoplug actually intends to continue to extend itself into other cloud services including backup services hopefully like Carbonite. Other venues expected to get connected are photo printing and file synchronization. How all this will continue to be done without any sort of a subscription fee is a mystery. Best to sign up now, and get grandfathered in before they change their minds. $129 lets you pre-order the new Pogoplug with an expected delivery of mid-December. About Everything USB
