Pogoplug updated: Twitter & Facebook integration, more USB ports

By Chris Davies on Friday, Nov 20th 2009 No Comments

Pogoplug have announced their second-generation device, and it aims to build on the usability of the original multimedia sharing brick.  As well as a new hardware design, with four USB 2.0 ports versus the first-gen model’s single port, there’s also new software with better integration with social media and online galleries such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.  The core concept, however, remains the same: a sixty-second setup, basically amounting to plugging in at least one hard-drive, an ethernet connection and power, and registering the Pogoplug serial number to a free account online.

Having thrown open the doors – or at least left them more than a little ajar – Peek have announced the latest string to their messaging-device’s bow: Peek Apps.  Launching on the one-year anniversary of the email-centric handheld, Peek Apps isn’t an on-device download store like you would find on the iPhone or Android, but instead the culmination of service mashups that bring Facebook, Twitter and Google Maps to the Peek.

By Evan Selleck on Friday, Sep 11th 2009 No Comments

While Facebook isn’t nearly as overbearing as MySpace is on its best day, for users out there trying to connect with everyone they know on a slow Internet connection, Facebook could be pretty daunting. There’s a lot of pictures that people like to share, after all, and those applications can be ridiculous at times. But Facebook has the answer for you: Lite. And just as the name has always alluded, we’ve got a fresh new look on an old friend.

Pandora and Facebook land on Android

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Sep 9th 2009 No Comments

pandora for android 5Android users in Europe are still reeling from the launch of Spotify on the platform, but now there’s a musical sop for their US cousins.  Pandora have released their eponymous personalized radio station application for the Google open-source platform, supporting the creation of custom playlists, rating of individual tracks and streaming over cellular or WiFi connections.

Meanwhile Android owners on both sides of the pond have a new native Facebook app to play with, offering access to comments, statuses, news and wall posts.  While not yet being given the Facebook “official” stamp of approval, word is that the developer is in the Facebook employer network, so this looks to be as official as things get for the moment.

Toshiba JournE Tablet Gets Hands-On Treatment

By Evan Selleck on Friday, Sep 4th 2009 No Comments

We just talked about the JournE, the new Mobile Internet Device (MID) from Toshiba. We still have a relative lack of information regarding the details of the device, but if the media playback of HD videos, plus an emphasis on streaming online videos via sites like YouTube isn’t enough to get you excited, we don’t know what will. Truth be told, the MID-range of devices is pretty, well, mid-range, but from what we are seeing now, especially by the excitement displayed in the video after the break, we can’t help but get even more excited.
