GBTV #590 | PogoPlug

The PogoPlug is intended help you easily access your files from anywhere, whether you’re at home or out and about. Plug the PogoPlug into the wall, attach it to an ethernet cable plugged into your router, then plug an external hard drive or USB stick to it. Once you activate it online, you’re set and ready to go. The interface is simple and intuitive. I was surprised to see that not only do you get preview images of your files, you can click to watch a movie, view a photo, or listen to a song. The preview process is immediate and smooth. The transcoding isn’t perfect, but surprisingly good.

You can find out more at PogoPlug.com. You can also mount it as a hard drive on your desktop and access your files via the iPhone app.

    I can’t wait until I can get one of these! This will help me save so much money on collaboration services like basecamp!

  2. Ray Scott Says:

    Looking gorgeous as always ;) Somefing wong wiff my inta-net tonight. Taking bloody ages to download this Brief Plug.

  3. joe Says:

    what type of encryption does it have if any. All I want to know is how secure is it before I hook it up to my network.

  4. Sean Cavendish Says:

    This seems super cool, Cali, but I can’t help but wonder whether streaming video, etc. from it might violate the TOS of many service providers. I’m sure they’d have thought of that, though; eh?

    Also, is there any way to use it with Time Machine, or does that still require either a connected external drive or Time Capsule?

  5. Blake Says:

    Hey Cali another cool alternative that is similar to this but only software is a thin caled orb it streems media just like this dose with a cool interface check it out at orb.com
    btw orb works on iPhone to!

  6. dave T Says:

    would you consider this a good way to share files similar to dropbox?

  7. Coyote T Says:

    The packaging “out Apples Apple”? The packaging looks just like my Zune, even the color choices. So I agree–it is better than Apple.

    Also, this is just the type of thing I’ve been looking for. Any idea about power consumption? Will it power a USB hard drive?

  8. DEWShanghai Says:

    Is it mult-voltage (110-240)?

  9. Jackson Fall Says:

    So… Is it like an iDisk with bigger storage? Sounds cool, cali. Love your unboxings.

  10. Blake Says:

    Ya I would only thing is your computer must be turned on! Or if you have a pc In away mode.

  11. Blake Says:

    Sorry I forgot it can also streem tv if you have a tuner!

    WOuld pogo work with a DROBO PRO?

  14. Vide Szondi Says:

    Nice unboxing, thanks! But, of course, you *didn’t*
    follow through and comment that the set-up took well
    over 60 seconds…or would that have been dissing
    the sponsor?

  15. Cali Lewis Says:

    @Vide Szondi: To be clear, PogoPlug is NOT a sponsor. When filming something like this it does take longer to setup because we want to show you enough footage. If I hadn’t been filming, I would say it’s very close to 60 seconds, maybe a minute and a half.

  16. jona0497 Says:

    Oh, no shipping to Europe :( probably doesn’t come with a european plug either then?

    fingers crossed for a EU-friendly version soon :D

  17. el Says:

    You can do the same if you have a external hard drive, Air Port extreme or Time Capsule and a mobile me account.

    @CaliLewis Unboxed Pogoplug on GeekBrief TV and set up in less than 60 seconds. Check it out- http://tinyurl.com/mccxrl

  19. Hernan Mendez Says:

    Looks like a very nice product and I like the overall concept but I’m a little worry about security (my home network and the sharing files service), here is some posting from WIRE Mag:

    WIRED Easy to use. Simple set up. Great utility: I MUST be able to access my collection of LOLcat photos from anywhere. iPhone app is solid software.

    TIRED No wireless mode … yet. Poor security it’s a wise idea to keep those tax returns or bank documents off the PogoPlug. Computer crashes are deeply flummoxing. IPhone is currently the only mobile device that supports remote access.

    @blurryleg here’s a link to an unboxing of Pogoplug. Take a look before you decide to sell it http://tinyurl.com/mccxrl

  23. Henrik Says:

    Ordered 500GB + DockStar ..

    See the Seagate www

  24. Burton Haynes Says:

    I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
