Remember Pogoplug? That magnificent little gadget that networks some USB hornlike intend and makes it internet reachable in practically set steps? We’re not the only ones who intellection it was an especially beatific idea, and Seagate has licensed the profession and incorporated it into a cut for takeout hornlike drives. The Seagate FreeAgent DockStar is essentially a Pogoplug in a different case, offering the same networked and internetted (?) functionality nonnegative some extra USB ports and a special cut for Seagate FreeAgent hornlike drives… In a nutshell, this profession lets you seamlessly admittance some and every USB drive(s) you block into it over your bag network and the internet, and modify from your iPhone.
At $99, the Seagate FreeAgent DockStar seems like an manifest choice over a $99 Pogoplug, eliminate that the Seagate edition apparently comes with a $30 subscription fee after the first year, whereas purchasing a Pogoplug includes period online admittance to your files. So, if you were meet born and you springy to be 150 eld old, that’s like $4,500 in admittance fees. I’m not trusty whether this implies that Seagate (as anti to Pogoplug) is attractive tending of the actualised internet assist part of things themselves, but either way, I really really dislike subscription fees for hardware.
Pogoplug makes a saucer of locution that they’re meet licensing their technology, and they’ve ease got every kinds of elating things planned… Seagate is existence welcomed into the Pogoplug kinsfolk as anti to evilness versa. To that end, today Pogoplug is announcing a bunch of new social networking features for their online intend interface, which makes it easy to deal files and folders on sites like Facebook and Twitter. Basically, the assist lets you deal noesis from your hornlike intend via a web link that users crapper utter on to admittance your intend directly. A variety of privacy options should keep the rest of your stuff safe, and it’s certainly artefact faster than uploading (and conveniently bypasses some category of space limitations), but the full concept ease makes me vaguely uncomfortable. Like, I don’t poverty those dirty Facebook/MySpace people accessing my drives! …Even if they are every (hypothetically) my friends.
Incidentally, we’ve been dispatched a Pogoplug for review, so we’ll hit a write-up for you (including another countenance at those social networking features) in the incoming few weeks.
