The iPad and the Pogoplug: A Powerful Combo

It seems spring fever has been replaced by iPad fever. There’s a buzz in the air about ship dates and those who haven’t yet bought an iPad are fretting over whether to get the 16, 32 or 64GB model.

We think the iPad is a great new way to consume multimedia. The intuitive multi-touch interface, the immersive high-resolution screen and the extreme ease of portability mean it is now easier and more enjoyable than ever to share photos and watch videos on the go. The iPad’s only limitation is the relatively small amount of data the device can hold. It’s like having a fast, cool car with a small gas tank. Just when you are getting revved up, you’re out of gas. The Pogoplug gives the iPad an infinite gas tank because the Pogoplug service allows you to continuously stream your media directly to your iPad. You don’t have to choose which files, photos and videos to put on your iPad because you will have access to them all. Though we at Pogoplug are as anxious as anyone to get our hands on one, we aren’t worrying about internal memory because we know that with the help of a Pogoplug you can get as much data as want on your iPad.

We’ve had our iPhone app available for several months and it is one of the most popular additions to the service we have made since we started shipping Pogoplugs. Our users often blog or tweet about how they love being able to access their whole digital life through their iPhone. They love streaming their own music to their handset. They love having their own movies streamed to them on the go. They call it “heaven” and “cloud mine.”

With the launch of the iPad, we are updating the my.pogoplug.com service to work with html5 video and audio playback so you can stream all your media using the Pogoplug web app from the iPad.

Once you get your iPad tell us how you are using the Pogoplug and iPad combination.

I am getting the Ipad 3G version so I have a few more weeks to wait but I am a happy owner of Pogoplug as well. I will test it out once I get it and let you know. Also, I would love to be a beta tester for you if you ever want beta testers.

I've got the 32gb WiFi - I appreciate the work you did getting the page to work with my iPad, but the clickables are small and my thick fingers don't do well without always having to zoom in. Any chance you could be persuaded to work on updating the PogoPlug app?

A default text reader option for files of unidentified type would be extremely helpful.
