And They’re Off – Beta Part Deux
I know you all have been chomping at the bit to find out who’ll be in the next wave of beta testers for Pogoplug, so we’re happy to announce that the second round (Part Deux, if you will) has begun. We have been wading through applications from enthusiastic gadget addicts who want to help us and have finally chosen our next wave of testers. This selection process has been really difficult, but exciting for our team. We’ve seen people plead with us on twitter and send out everything but their resume to help sway us. It makes us really proud to know so many people believe in our idea and want to support us to make it better. Please keep us on your radar for future testing opportunities and we hope to hear from you when we start shipping in March!

Honestly guys,
Please!!! You are killing me… not having the pogoplug available!!!!
I don’t know what I need to say to you guys to know or understand my urgent need.
include me please
That just goes to show.. design a simple product to meet a need and the people will be excited. I know I am…
All the cheap NAS solutions out there are horrible for one reason or another, most with transfer speed. Do we have an idea what kind of transfers POGO will offer?
So the Invitations have gone out? If i didn’t receive anything until now that means I wasn’t not selected?
+1 on what malhotra81 says…
I am looking forward to this product. I will help me a ton with sharing files with family.
I made it! I am really excited to start testing. Thanks for the opp. I won’t let you down!
I would love to be included in the testing. I could really test out that 20/20 fiber line I have at home.
What a wonderfully simple and needed idea! I currently synchronize from the internet through my LAN to an external hard drive, which not coincidentally is also named Pogo. I use LogMeIn Pro, which means a workstation is always running. Hope you add the ability to run such apps on Pogoplug off the hard drive, which would create an incredibly low-cost always-on no-excuses secure remote backup … please:)
All you gadget writers please do not forget Logitech/Slimdevices Squeezecenter do adapt. I love the idea to have a simple media server for my Squeezebox.
How secure is it? Is it possible to hack it and make your HDD content available to everyone on the net?
Good idea though!
@Zimi and others concerned with security- Pogoplug is tied to your email address and is password protected (you assign your password). All Web access is over SSL, including initial email address/password authentication. We create a direct connection between your computer and the Pogoplug which is fully encrypted and Pogoplug effectively creates a secure VPN into your hard drive.
When will the Pogoplug start shipping? We are already in March now and can’t wait to get my hands on this device.
Please Please Please include me in the beta… I have already preordered my pogoplug, and can’t wait to get my hands on it. It will be great if I can beta it.
Hi,
You will ever send pogoplug to remote region, like europe? or maybe the incredible far far far away italy ?
marco
It’s been over a month an a half without any updates. So, are you shipping these things in March or not?
Startin’ ta think this is just a hoax/scam!
It looks like they charged my credit card, so they must be on their way…
Yeah, they charged mine too. . . I’m not convinced that they’re coming
