Pogoplug makes sharing a cinch Pogoplug – sharing made simple

The Pogoplug – an all-new multimedia sharing device that aims to make syncing a cinch – is now available in the UK. Traditionally, remotely accessing hard drives and sharing files is a process that requires a degree in computer science. But the Pogoplug aims to give you access to all your hard drive goodies – images, video, music and docs – with just a 60-second installation time.

Just plug in your router and up to four hard drives to Pogoplug and then activate the device through its website (my.pogoplug.com). Once registered, you can access your hard drive remotely and share until your heart’s content. It’s compatible with both Macs and PCs and can automatically port in new content form iTunes, Windows Media Player and iPhoto.

The Pogoplug is on sale exclusively at John Lewis now at £99.

A great idea but such a shame that they haven't made the USB ports 3.0 compatible, especially as the Ethernet port is Gigabit. This device, as it is, is going to be out-of-date so quickly!
