Remember Pogoplug? That magnificent lowercase gadget that networks some USB hornlike intend and makes it internet accessible in practically set steps? We’re not the exclusive ones who thought it was an especially good idea, and Seagate has licensed the profession and incorporated it into a dock for takeout hornlike drives. The Seagate FreeAgent DockStar is essentially a Pogoplug in a assorted case, offering the aforementioned networked and internetted (?) functionality plus some extra USB ports and a primary dock 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 meshwork and the internet, and even from your iPhone.
At $99, the Seagate FreeAgent DockStar seems same an manifest pick over a $99 Pogoplug, eliminate that the Seagate edition apparently comes with a $30 subscription gift after the first year, whereas purchasing a Pogoplug includes lifetime online admittance to your files. So, if you were meet born and you springy to be 150 eld old, that’s same $4,500 in admittance fees. I’m not sure whether this implies that Seagate (as anti to Pogoplug) is taking tending of the actualised internet assist part of things themselves, but either way, I rattling rattling hate subscription fees for hardware.
Pogoplug makes a saucer of saying that they’re meet licensing their technology, and they’ve ease got every kinds of exciting things planned… Seagate is existence welcomed into the Pogoplug family as anti to evilness versa. To that end, today Pogoplug is announcing a clump of newborn ethnic networking features for their online intend interface, which makes it cushy to deal files and folders on sites same Facebook and Twitter. Basically, the assist lets you deal content from your hornlike intend via a scheme unification that users crapper click on to admittance your intend directly. A difference of privacy options should keep the rest of your clog 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 grouping 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 look at those ethnic networking features) in the next few weeks.
