“While more and more computer peripherals and gadgets
these days are running Linux internally, not many vendors are
matching their internal Linux support with external Linux customer
support. For the Pogoplug though, which is made by CloudEngines,
this is not the case. The Pogoplug is a network attached storage
device that is far more than a basic NAS like the Icy Box NAS4220,
but the Pogoplug can integrate with social networks like Twitter
along with providing a rich web 2.0 interface for accessing the
device from anywhere in the world. The Pogoplug device runs Linux
and is built upon popular open-source packages, but Pogoplug does
not hide this fact and they actually encourage community developers
to work on the Pogoplug with complete support for SSH-ing into
these devices and making modifications. CloudEngines also offers a
32-bit/64-bit Linux program for interacting with the Pogoplug.“CloudEngines had sent over their second-generation Pogoplug
that was released last year. The Pogoplug retails for just over
$120 USD and it allows up to four USB 2.0 devices to be connected
to the device that then can be hooked into any wired Internet
connection with Gigabit connectivity support.”
