The Pogoplug is a relatively tiny and very pink (the only color it is available in) network storage device designed to be simple for even the extremely non-technical to install and use to share files. Pogoplug announced two new products (and not pink).

Pogoplug Gains Two New Products and Enables Web Printing

But, the most interesting aspect of the announcement is that the firmware update for the original Pogoplug adds some mobile gadget goodness to it. It enables iPhones, iPads, and Android devices to print to supported HP and Epson printers.

And, even better news? I noticed that the Pogoplug’s list price has dropped from around $129 to $99. Amazon is selling it for $48. I’ve been considering buying a Pogoplug for a long time. The $48 price on Amazon sealed the deal for me.
