“As reported in our initial coverage of the Linux-based Marvell
SheevaPlug platform and Plug Computer design in February, the
Pogoplug enables remote viewing of external storage devices via a
web browser. The device connects to an external hard drive or
memory stick via USB, and to a router via gigabit Ethernet, says
Cloud Engines. The 4.0 x 2.5 x 2.0-inch device plugs directly into
a wall socket, and enables remote uploading of multimedia,
including access from an Apple iPhone.“Now shipping, the device has been updated this week via
automated downloads to support 32- and 64-bit Linux desktops, as
well as 64-bit versions of Windows and Mac computers. With the new
search function, users can find specific files using their iPhone
or Pogoplug web application without having to manually search the
entire drive, says the company. Other touted upgrades include the
ability to input multiple email addresses at a time for simplified
sharing, as well as the ability to add personalized messages with
each share invitation.”
