Ok, I'll see how much I can help out here:
1. Yes. I would use Handbrake and MP4 format. That should work.
2/3. I don't have a lot of experience streaming video (I mainly stream audio) so I'm going to look for other community members to chime in on these.
4. If the web browser is HTML5 compatible, it might have some limited functionality. There is no Pogoplug Drive software for Symbian/Nokia, so it won't have a local app (at least not now.) Pogoplug Drive apps are available for iPhone, Android, Palm, and BlackBerry.
5. Same as #4. I think the Jet uses a proprietary Samsung interface which doesn't have an official Pogoplug App yet. Again, if its built-in browser supports HTML5, it might have limited functionality.
6. I have a Maxtor OneTouch that automatically goes into sleep mode, and wakes up when I access the Pogoplug, and it works with no issues (just as an example.) If you have issues with your specific drive, I would contact Pogoplug support in that case.

I just found out about Pogoplug and it seem to be the answer to a lot of my requirements. So ordered from Amazon.co.uk last night and also a Seagate usb 2.5 ext HDD. I then found this forum and was a little bit disappointed to see so many people complaining about bugs regarding Trans-coding and audio syncing.
If anyone can answer a few questions for me here I would appreciate the help.
1) If the Pogoplug is slow trans-coding could it be converted on a desktop to whatever the Pogoplug uses thus making it quicker?
2) Is or has the Audio syncing problem already been or soon to be resolved with a patch?
3) Do video streams judder? I have 50mb Virgin Broadband and my sister who would also share stuff has Sky 2mb or 4mb, so would that be OK?
4) I have a Nokia 5800, will that work with Pogoplug?
5) My wife has a Samsung Jet will that work?
6) I read a few threads where the guys were saying about HDDs in sleep mode having problems? The Seagate I have purchase like most has an energy saving feature. Is that going to give me problems or is there a work around for this?
Thank you

Take a look at this post and you can see what the format is on the transcoded videos.

If you use Handbrake or similar program you may want to try that output format.

Re: 2 & 3) I do video streaming within my home. Works fine wirelessly using 802.11G and N. Oustide of the home it works fine on my 1.5mbps upstream connection as long as I have transcoded it down far enough. I typically get right around 100K/sec throughput which is about what I would expect from my connection. I do all my transcoding on my desktop as I can control was is transcoded and at what quality level. Everything works great for me!
Thanks guys...just noticed Amazon tracking states mine is in the next city so should be with me in the morning:-)
