The device offers extra elasticity to accumulate personal content securely in the home and allows users to access, manage, and share it from any place on the Internet.
The new appliance’s hardware comes with a new design embracing several USB ports incorporating up to 4 external drives for extended data capacity. The new Pogoplug also provides users with superior sharing capabilities; an effortless drag-and-drop interface is used to generate appealing multi-media slide shows, faultless media playback, and improved sharing with friends on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.
The device facilities users to access, share and even stream their personal digital media instantly to anyone, situated anywhere in the world. The content may always stay physically in the users’ home or office, thereby making it safe, handy, and accessible on their own terms. People with increasingly mobile lifestyle and small businesses who require easy, economical mobile data access solutions can find Pogoplug quite useful.
Daniel Putterman, CEO of Cloud Engines, Inc, commented, “The reaction to the Pogoplug has been incredible. By listening to user feedback and following our own product roadmap, we are bringing a great second-generation product that gives our customers access to a host of new features that both improve the function of the Pogoplug, and add to the fun of using it as well. We are committed to giving our customers the best way to access their data from anywhere in the world, pushing the envelope with both product quality and design aesthetic. The result is what you see here today.â€
Users can align their device with their PC or Mac to mechanically import latest content from popular applications like iTunes, Windows Media Player, and iPhoto. This attribute enables Pogoplug owners to constantly have access to new photos, videos and music from anywhere on the Internet.
The Address Book significantly enhances the pace and effortlessness of sharing with friends and family. Pogoplug involuntarily memorizes all email addresses in the user’s preceding shares and it does not matter even if that share no longer is present and makes them accessible in a user-friendly address book. The device has added global search support across all user’s Pogoplugs and drives. Search filters are at the present a dissimilar feature, facilitating users to see all their photos, videos and music in a solo prearranged view, or to hunt for a specific file across all Pogoplugs and drives.
The device mechanically exhibits music by Album, Artist and Genre, and demonstrates cover art for fast access to a user’s preferred music. Photos can now be presented by photo timeline. Videos could be accessed with just a click counting the facility to view a preview in the thumbnail itself. The appliance now incorporates the playback of videos directly from a Pogoplug, with support for majority of the popular cameras, video cameras and mobile phones. Pogoplug website or even an iPhone can be used to share and see movies.
