Dear All �

Has anyone formed an opinion about using the PogoPlug as a NAS (as well as a
file server)?

<http://www.pogoplug.com/> Available from our very own John Lewis in the UK.


TIA

Looks interesting and, presumably, would also work as part of a network.

I thought these were a bit noddy, initially, but there's a couple of
interesting features:
* web folder access to your data from any browser, anywhere
* streams to PS3 and *xbox 360* which is a pretty big deal if you have
one under your TV. AFAIK no-one else is doing this to the 360 apart
from Windows systems due to the funky way MS implemented their take on
DNLA
* can do automated mirror copying between two pogoplugs at different
locations

Interesting device. I'd quite like software to run on Leopard that
did the same thing if it's any good.

Check out Rivet <http://thelittleappfactory.com/rivet/> a $20 app that lets
you set up your Mac to do this. I'm using it to stream to an XBox360 and it
works a treat.

And by co-incidence I bought NullRiver's MediaLink,
http://www.nullriver.com/products/medialink, as recommended on this
group a few days ago. Is doing a good job of streaming to a Ps3 and a
DLNA-aware TV.


Cheers,
Ian
