レファランス：http://japanese.engadget.com/2011/09/01/pogoplug-mobile/

ふつうのUSBハードディスクをクラウドストレージ化するデバイス Pogoplug に、iOS / Android 端末との親和性を高めた新モデル Pogoplug Mobile が加わります。Pogoplug は筐体に Ethernet とストレージを繋げることで、ストレージ内のデータをあたかもクラウド上に置いているかのように、PCやモバイル機器で利用できるという製品。従来の Pogoplug でもスマートフォン用アプリが提供されていましたが、Pogoplug Mobile では iPhone / iPad / Android 向けの新アプリを利用することにより、端末内データのオートバックアップ機能を実現しています。そのほか想定される利用用途は、ストレージ内の画像ファイル閲覧、動画・ファイルのストリーミング、オフィスファイルの確認、あるいはあらゆるファイルのアドレスをメールに添付して他の人と共有することもできます。「クラウド」上のファイルは直接編集できませんが、ファイルのダウンロード後、しかるべきアプリを利用すれば、編集することも可能です。また別途 Windows / Mac 用ソフトも提供され、こちらは編集に対応しています。

利用をはじめるには、筐体にEthernetケーブルを繋ぎ、専用サイト経由でアクティベートするだけ。ストレージはUSBで接続するか、SDカードを直接差し込めます。価格は79ドル、10月1日の発売予定です。
