If I wasn't able to mount pogoplug as a virtual drive in linux, I'd throw it in the trash! The first android pogoplug app hardly worked, but at least I could view .avi files. The new app has a pop up that says"must have video player that supports .avi files",although with the original app I used the default video player on my elocity a7 and it played these files just fine. Don't buy this thing.
first I thought it was great, like the SheevaPlug. A device that is a server that hosts your files. Then I saw : "go to my.pogoplug.com to see your files", "the pogoplug application", 100$, etc. And now I know that it's crap.
Basically because you can do this with virtually any router made in the past 5 years, and any computer with an internet connection. So if you're paying real money for this product, you're paying an 'Idiot tax'.
Great device. Can add apps like media server or web server or torrent. Basically a really small linux computer. Device is very open (hackable). Getting the TonidoPlug. Similar device as the Pogoplug.
not sure if I get it ... it looks like a file sharing device. but if that is the case ... why do then need a h/w ... they can just set up a FTP sit and allow clients to up load files ...
Did a google search....they dont sell that device anymore lol

I have a PogoPlug and I figured out how to host my own website on a USB stick with its own domain works really well

You have to plug a drive into it. It's sort of like a NAS (Networked Attached Storage), but with the networked part separate from your hard drive.

most people can't set up an ftp, and more people can use a pogoplug.
