PogoPlug Video Unboxing and Preview (video)

As promised in our website 2.0 post, our goal is to provide more original content for you, our readers and we’ve just achieved two more notches in our belt when it comes to that promise. You see, not only will we be attending Sony’s E3 press conference next week, but we have also received a PogoPlug Video to unbox for you.

The PogoPlug Video was brought to life between a partnership between Sony and Cloud Engines with a simple, but complex and yet complex idea at the same time. Make sharing of AVCHD video, a format that all of Sony’s Cybershot, Alpha, NEX and Handycam camcorder shoot in natively which provides superior audio and video, both simple and hassle free. With the AVCHD format, comes larger file sizes and a format that YouTube and Facebook aren’t so keen on supporting. With the PogoPlug Video and Sony’s partnership with them, you simply need to drag the video from your camera into your shared PogoPlug video folder, and the free PogoPlug app for your Mac or PC will allow you share this content for free and provide you near instant streaming capabilities. All this “cloud storage” and streaming capabilities also come to you with no monthly fees or bandwidth limits whatsoever. But before we get into our review, here is an unboxing for you.

If you have any questions about the PogoPlug, let us know about in the comments section below. Also, do you have a preferred cloud storage system setup? How about a home server? Let us know!
