Anybody using Pogoplug local device?

Is anyone using one of these for local backup and web access of files?

If so, can you comment on reliability of the web access? I have seen reviews which suggest that the device needs a re-boot from time to time. But those reviews are old and not necessarily applicable to a newer Pogoplug device.

I have one and they are dead on.

Remember though you need a drive to add to them.

There is a much newer Pogoplug device out now.

However if you are buying one new and need a drive consider something like a Western Digital MyBook.

They are great.

Lots of wee hacks can be done and are great for remote access and such. Apps available for iPhone and ipad for both devices.

3G network isn't enough to stream video remotely over either device.
