Client News: Pogoplug Makes Easy Even Easier
May 20th, 2009 by emilySince Pogoplug has been in the public eye, reviewers and customers have said how easy it is to access your external hard drive through the web. In fact, reviewers like USA Today’s Ed Baig and Andy Ihnatko at the Chicago Sun-Times commented that the hardest part of setting up Pogoplug is typing in the 26 character ID code during registration. For what this little box does, that is amazing.
But today, Pogoplug is announcing new updates that make this simple product even better, faster, stronger (do it!). They’ve added Search capability to their iPhone and web applications and sharing is now faster and more personalized. They’ve also included support for a plethora of new operating systems for their drive app. And these are just the tip of the iceberg.
This Friday, Pogoplug pushes out 3 additional updates! To complement their search function, they’ll add a sort feature that lets users sort by name, size or file type in both ascending and descending order. They’re also tacking their number one complaint (that cumbersome ID code) by adding an auto-discovery feature that automatically finds the Pogoplug ID code during registeration. And for all of the Boxee fans, Pogoplug’s new Media RSS feeds can be used as a media source to access media on your home hard drive can be accessed through the Boxee interface.
For current Pogoplug users, these updates will take place automatically (in fact, some already have). New users will get their Pogoplug updates as a part of the regsitration process. And all updates are free, just like their service. Not bad, Pogoplug!
