The PogoPlug is intended help you easily access your files from anywhere, whether you're at home or out and about. Plug the PogoPlug into the wall, attach it to an ethernet cable plugged into your router, then plug an external hard drive or USB stick to it. Once you activate it online, you're set and ready to go. The interface is simple and intuitive. I was surprised to see that not only do you get preview images of your files, you can click to watch a movie, view a photo, or listen to a song. The preview process is immediate and smooth. The transcoding isn't perfect, but surprisingly good. You can find out more at PogoPlug.com. You can also mount it as a hard drive on your desktop and access your files via the iPhone app.
