This has been another great week for us at Pogoplug-we've made some big announcements, and there are a few more up our sleeves. (Stay tuned!) In the meantime, here's some of the latest news.

VentureBeat covered our momentum release Wednesday, writing, "Who needs Amazon's cloud storage when you can turn your own hard drive into a cloud-enabled device?

We also got a write-up in Hemispheres, United Airlines' inflight magazine: "Make your own cloud. If you already have an external hard drive at home with all your media loaded on it, the easiest way to turn it into a remote-accessible personal cloud is to plug it into Pogoplug." Read Article.
