there is no limitation with iOS in that aspect, I can run pandora and surf the net or read emails or whatever at the same time. I Can also play mp3s from the iphone or iPad directly while I surf the net or read email. Its must be the pogoplug application for iphone, it needs to be updated. The best the pogoplug app can do is run while the screen turns off. I am looking through the settings and I dont see anything limiting this feature. In any case someone needs to produce a scaled up version for the iPad and fully take advantage of the iOS multitasking features.

But I am glad to find that someone has been using a dockstar and pogoplug on the same network. Are all the features available from both pogoplugs simultaneously from multiple devices?

I have some responses for you also. It has been busy for me lately so I have not mad much time for certain forums. I ordered a second pogoplug and it kind of works as you would expect but not exactly. I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad and I wanted to setup one dockstar per device... So I did. Both dockstars are viewable but only one can access all the media fully. The original dockstar I setup has full access from either my iphone or iPad but the second, when I try to listen to mp3s or view video clips, the app crashes from either device. I suspect that maybe both devices are fighting over the same port or something to that effect. But locally they both work perfectly, I can access all data from my Mac, Linux box and XBMC (original nodded xbox). As for setting up a pogo plug from a remote location, there should be nothing stopping you from putting a pogo plug on every house on your block and accessing it from 1 location as far as I know. So as people have mentioned before, it works as advertised, but my experiences have shown not completely with the iOS app and 2 dockstars on the same network.

Mbeatty, I'm sorry but I'm just not clear. Have you actually tried running a powered USB hub with more than 3 drives? Sorry if I'm just read into this too much.
