Second Generation Pogoplug Gets Official [Pogoplug Lets You Access Content from Your UBS Devices Over the Internet]

Cloud Engines has announced today the second generation Pogoplug. That’s all fine and dandy but what’s a Pogoplug most people will ask. A Pogoplug is an interesting device that will let you access all the content you want from your USB drives over the Internet. That means you don’t have to carry with you portable hard drives anymore. Instead just get a Pogoplug and access everything on those USB drives from anywhere in the world. It’s like setting up your own cloud.

The new Pogoplug comes with a design change and multiple USB ports that will let you connect up to 4 external drives. Once connected to the Pogoplug those drives are ready to let you manage them no matter where you are. All you need is a dependable Internet connection and you’ll be able to handle those drives and share media content with your friends in no time.

Speaking about sharing, you’ll have to know that the Pogoplug will let you share content with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace easily. You’ll be able to even stream media straight over the Internet although you’ll need a great connection in order to get a great experience out of it.

The Pogoplug will come with a lot of new features:

• Automatic content synchronization
• Drag-and-Drop music and photo slideshows support
• Sharing with Pogoplug Address Book
• Global Search across multiple drives and Pogoplugs
• Automatic content organization
• Streaming support from my.pogoplug.com
• iPhone streaming support

As you can see the Pogoplug is a great solution for keeping your content close without actually taking the USB drives with you. You won’t have to worry anymore about losing them as Pogoplug keeps them secure for you at home. Sure in case someone decides to rob your house the drives might disappear too but let’s keep thinking positive thoughts and hope nobody robs your home anytime soon.

The new Pogoplug is available for pre-order as we speak and the unit will ship to your door by the end of the year. The gadget sells for $129 and there are no other service fees or monthly fees to pay. Any takers?
