Pogoplug Pro Now with Wi-Fi, Comes in Black
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, networking, streaming, Today's Chili, wi-fi
The new Pogoplug Pro gets a color change, from a cake-frosting pink and white to a somber, businesslike black, and adds one essential that has been missing until now: built-in Wi-Fi.
The Pogoplug is a small box that hooks up to both your router and up to four USB drives. It then makes all of the content on those drives available to you via the internet, wherever you may be. You can do this with a computer, but the advantage of the Pogoplug is that you don’t have to leave a power-thirsty desktop running at home, and the configuration is also a lot easier.
With the addition of Wi-Fi, the box just got a whole lot more versatile. It still does the same as before, but now you can stash it in a closet along with the hard drives and even a printer and forget about stringing ethernet cables, or adding external Wi-Fi adapters.
There is also a Pogoplug app for the iPad and iPhone which will let you stream your music and videos or access other files direct, whether away from home or directly over the local network. For many, who keep large movie libraries on external drives, this could be the killer app right there: the Pogoplug apps let you stream your video direct from the drives with no pesky computer required.
The Pogoplug Pro is available now, for the same $100 as the original, meaning you should only buy the old one if you love pink, and are allergic to Wi-Fi.
