Pogoplug makes impact at new price point of £79.99
widget | 23 June, 2010 10:30
At the new average selling price of £79.99, down form £99.99, the Pogoplug device is catching a lot of attention online.
According to Linux User, even at the old price "What’s not to love about a £99 Linux-based device that requires little time to set up, no computer for connectivity, no monthly fees and only a web browser for access to your files from anywhere in the world? Yes, its radioactive pink colour might seem a bit off-putting upon first glance, but after you connect the Pogoplug and discover its power, you won’t care if it glows in the dark (but don’t worry – it doesn’t)." Full review here.
And if you are still confused about what Pogoplug does, try watching this 4 minute video from Get Connected.
"When I first saw this thing, I didn't really get it. I honestly thought it was another hard drive, which you connect to your computer, but the best way to think about it is as a mini-cloud.." says the presenter.
Pogoplug is now available in store in John Lewis Partnership, PC World, Currys, Micro Anvika, Amazon.co.uk and from many other electronics retailers.
