I just received my Pogoplug via UPS!! I could not resist unboxing it immediately. Here it is in all its glory.

Here is the main box with a window for the Pogoplug.

The packaging is very similar to how Apple packages their products.

Full layout of all the packaging and items. Pogoplug, 2 power adapters, and CAT5 cable.

3 simple steps to get set up. Now that is how to make things work.

They give you 2 options for the power. Plug directly into a wall or use the cord to lay it flat.

Wall plug adapter.

Power cord adapter.

Ethernet connection and USB 2.0 port. Just plug into power, connect to your network, and plug in any USB 2.0 HDD or Thumb Drive. You can even put a USB 2.0 hub and put on a few drives. How cool is that!!

I will be installing it here tonight and testing it over the weekend. I will have a podcast for Monday on the Pogoplug!!
