Cloud storage service and device maker Pogoplug is unveiling its latest offering today: a new service for mobile users that offers 5 GB of free online storage. To use “Pogoplug Cloud,” you first sign up directly from your mobile phone or tablet (iOS or Android 2.2+), then download the app and begin the upload process. And that’s where Pogoplug really begins to shine: it automatically uploads the photos and videos from your device to the cloud – no sync required. In testing (on the iPhone), the process was pretty straightforward. You go to www.pogoplug.com from your mobile browser to sign up or login to the service and find the appropriate app for your device. You then launch the app, login and the upload just starts on its own. It really couldn’t be easier. In the app’s Settings, you can also specify whether the uploads can run over 3G, Wi-Fi or both, and there’s a curious setting Read More

The Dropbox team updated the Dropbox app today with full iPad compatibility and the option to choose which app will open a document. It's a very welcome refresh for an application that many users (myself included) depend on. As usual, the app is free. Let's look at the improvements. First of all, the cosmetic changes. While in the landscape orientation, Dropbox offers the same split view that Mail and several others use. Pictures and documents look great and legible on the large screen. Across the toolbar are icons to jump to your favorites, adjust your account settings, email a public link to a file (or copy it to the clipboard), mark a file as a favorite and finally choose an app to open a file. In portrait orientation the sidebar disappears and you're left with a full-screen view of your document and a few icons at the top. It looks super. Read More

PogoPlug has gotten a fair bit of coverage here at CrunchGear, including a full review of the original PogoPlug device. A new version was recently released, with quite a bit more to offer, so an updated review is in order. The second generation PogoPlug supports up to four USB drives, offers gigabit Ethernet, has mobile clients for the major smartphones, and has a burgeoning independent developer community. That’s a lot for a $129 gadget! Features: Pros: Cons: Review I’ve been using Dropbox for a couple months now to synchronize my files across several different computers. It works, but sometimes I just don’t want my data living on someone else’s servers. The PogoPlug solves that problem by allowing me to store my data on my physical hardware, and access it from anywhere using either a web-based interface, a WebDAV system that makes the PogoPlug look like a locally connected drive on my Read More

Das FreeAgent DockStar von Seagate gleicht in Kombination mit dem iPhone einer lokalen Dropbox, die Zuhause unter eurem Fernseher steht. Oder in eurer Abstellkammer. Oder in der Küche. Wie man das auch immer mag. Aber fangen wir aber ganz von vorne an. Seagate vereint im weißen Plastik-Dock einen USB-Hub mit drei Anschlüssen und einer Netzwerkschnittstelle. Dazu kommt an der Oberseite ein passgenauer Mini-USB-Knotenpunkt für eine FreeAgent Go-Festplatte. Der 2.5 Zoll-Datenträger ist in verschiedensten Farben mit derzeit 640GB erhältlich. Die – besonders für diesen Artikel – spannende Neuerung ist jedoch die Lizenzierung der Pogoplug-Technologie, die alle Festplattendaten im Netzwerk (egal ob Zuhause oder von Außerhalb) in den (iPhone-)Zugriff rückt. Die futuristische schicke pinke zweite Pogoplug Hardware-Generation erreicht Mitte Dezember ’09 die Marktreife und wird voraussichtlich Anfang des nächsten Jahres in Deutschland erhältlich sein – derweilen nehmen wir gerne mit der stilsicheren Seagate-Modifikation Vorliebe. Die (Netzwerk-)Technologie ist identisch und als allgemein sehr benutzerfreundlich Read More
