PogoPlug Biz Announced and Available for Pre-Order

Anyone who follows the podcast and blog knows that I'm a huge fan of Cloud Engine's PogoPlug. It's FTP without the hassle of an FTP for both you and your clients. The one and only negative I consistently find with the product is it's goofy title and pink-accented color theme. For all it does right, I find myself apologizing to clients in advance when I say "you'll be receiving an email invitation from something called a 'PogoPlug', I know, it sounds silly…"
Well, those days are numbered with the introduction of the PogoPlug Biz. It's essentially a beefed-up version of the PogoPlug we know and love, but this iteration gives business users the ability to customize and monitor the presentation and content on the drive(s).
We'll be able to customize the interface, background image, color scheme, even the domain name that invites users to the files. Web-view only sharing allows clients to preview images, but not download them (pretty nifty for use photographers, eh?). The cloud-printing adds a twist to the concept - not sure I'll get any use of it, but good to know it's there. It also has things like multiple users and remote backup.
The one bummer about this product it's cost: $299. I can't help but feel a little gouged on the price when the price of the pink-version is 1/3 the cost - plus it seems like almost all of these features are software-based, not hardware.

Hi Mike,
How's your PogoPlug Biz? Will you do a review of your experience using it and also include screen shots of what the client will see on their end.(ie. branding, etc).
Better yet; how about a video review?
-Thanks
Mike
It should be here by the end of the week (their estimated time of 3-4 weeks turned into 5) - I'll be sure to do an in-depth video review. Thanks for the suggestion!
