August 25, 201114 yr unlimited Pogoplug Premium software license (one license can be installed on ALL your computers--Mac or PC) for just $10.00 more that makes it $39.99 and then Shipping not included (approximately $10.00). Tax applied where applicable. Offer valid in the US only thats makes it $49.99 + Tax I can't buy/try anything were a company cant flat out state the price of there product. Let us know what you think when you get one. Plus from CNET: The bad: Awkward and unintuitive media browsing experience; unreliable and choppy playback and file format compatibility makes audio and especially video streaming unreliable; unattractive design; many of the advanced features like cloud printing and media streaming don't work reliably.
August 25, 201114 yr Author I hear ya .. .just include the shipping, but keep in mind the software is in fact only an option, it is not required unless you need to stream to things like your phone with transcode. I personnally have no need for that, so the price is ineed, $39 shipped. Which is way cheaper than the $99 it used to be. [shrug] not even sure I'm getting one, I just thought it was a good deal. I'll certainly report back if I do get one.
August 25, 201114 yr Nothing against your post, much appreciated, just warning others from what I saw. As it seemed interesting... there's always something for someone
August 29, 201114 yr Author No worries, didn't take it personal. Over now and I didn't get one because I just didn't see a use case for me. A neat idea, one I would use if I travelled more and didn't already just transcode/transfer videos for my phone, but for now I see no need.
August 31, 201114 yr It is possible to install and set up a Debian install onto these. http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/ Uncertain how streaming might be affected, but it should be a lot more flexible than the standard stock firmware.
August 31, 201114 yr I use J. River Media Center. For $50 you get a whole lot more than this ability. Add a few dollars for AirVideo and you have an iphone/ iPad solution too. I've been listening to my entire audio collection at work for a while using this application. With AirVideo, I was able to let my daughter watch her favourite videos from across the Atlantic on my iPhone while we were on vacation in England.
