    Default Pogo Plug

    Now you can open any file in any computer, iphone, ipad etc. You will only need a 16g with wifi. As long as you have an internet connection you will be able to open any of your files anywhere in the world.

    check out http://www.pogoplug.com/home-en.html?

    I just got told about it today and supposedly be available in Canada on Sept. 1st for $149.99.

    What do you think about this?

    While an interesting concept, I would be concerned about security. I think it is best to keep your main data off the net and keep what is on the net to a minimum.

    Roger, it's as safe as online banking. No files are on the net, you access your files on your computer.

    Many people have been using web mail to store files for almost 10 years and they dont charge you any fee. Gmail gives you 25GB for $0. There are tons of free services out there and have been for ages. Maybe there is a difference and added features for $150 but is it a good value?
    Not for me.

    Robert, I think the difference is you can access any file on your home computer anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. My buddy who is a techie, I'm not, convinced me of the benefits of this service.
    I'm not affiliated with this service in any way just thought I'd pass along the information.

    agree with Robert, there are tons of free or low paying software apps that do this from your PC

    this maybe safe but there is no way this is as safe as online banking, online banking is highly encrypted and hidden behind layers of firewalls

    well I am going back on what i said I just ordered one from amazon as its only 48 bucks http://www.amazon.com/Pogoplug-POGO-...ur=forums&ses=

    having the iphone app to connect to it will come in handy sometimes I am sure when I am traveling

    I will post back once I put it through its paces, I wish that it did time machine backups ! if it did that it would clearly be be a seller

    but that hot pink ... man I need to hide this thing :)
