Hi Rob,

My music is usually 256kbps but I have some 320kbps also. I have a pretty fast upload speed, I don't use wireless network connection (I have a cable running from the pogo plug to the router). I have a pretty fast phone on 3G and I have the latest Droid app. It streams perfectly over Sprint's 3G service. I'm not sure that the internal hardware is different but I would suspect that it might be updated as well as the software. The Droid app has some problems but once you are streaming, it's rock solid for me.

I personally would not link the plug to my wireless network wirelessly...just another level of complexity and problems that may arise. What if you were using 256bit encryption on your wireless network...wouldn't that slow things down and cause latency issues? Put the plog near the router and use an ethernet cable. I have 5mbps upload speed on my internet service, that helps.

I think this pogoplug pro is close to be the perfect solution I have always wanted...it's ambitious but it works pretty well. I even coded a 400mb video file in mp4 format h.264 v1 codec ("isom" shows up in the details). You can code this with Handbrake from handbrake.fr (a GREAT free open source video tool) and it streams fine on my cellphone over the cell network?! Unbelievable. I have a Samsung Galaxy Epic Droid phone and the video looks GREAT. Music and movies do not pause or break for buffering....runs smooth.
