The New Pogoplug!
At a great late night event held in their SF headquarters, Cloud Engines – creators of the ubercool award-winning Pogoplug “multimedia sharing device” unveiled the next step in their Pogoplug product evolution (see picture).
A very select group of techgeeks got a very special sneak peek and hands-on with the new Pogoplug, which boasts 4 USB ports (a big crowd pleaser), very cool new design, and a bunch of new features:
- Automatic sync with your music, movies, photos…really any folder you want
- Bulk uploading
- Improved data display for media – cover art, albums, genre, artists for music, timeline for photos
- Super easy and cool looking drag and drop slideshows
- Streaming video from my.pogoplug.com in just about any format – even stream to your iPhone
- Improved address book functions, incorporating Myspace and Facebook friends for easier sharing
- Global search across all Pogoplugs and drives – never forget which drive that file is sitting on. Just hit the search button
The Pogoplug has had an incredible year after just launching at CES in January, earning huge accolades and a very dedicated community of followers (check out www.pogoplugged.com). We’re thrilled that the second generation already seems to have captured the imaginations of many in the tech world just a few hours after its release.
