For backup here's a new solution.
Pogoplug — Access your external hard drive from anywhere on the Internet
Just plug a USB drive, connect to your router, activate and BOOM - you got a network drive for backups.
Simple access via browser (Mac, PC, Pre). Even can open folders to others with email and password. Looks like iDisk with no monthly fee.
Still need some better solutions on PIM data. I'm still hoping for a good MobileMe cloud sync.
I saw this yesterday and was going to ask one of you "network guys" about it!
It seems to me like a pretty good solution for the vast majority of us who are just looking for additional storage of info off the device and who are not looking to become network engineers . And, it's a drive that I own so I don't have to worry about the "cloud" going out of business and me losing my data.
So, what do you guys thing about this PogoPlug solution? Are there any others like it out there? Anybody using this now?
