hey friends, I'm also gonna buy it in a day or two but can somebody clear some of my doubts since i'm a noob in such stuff.

How do we access its GUI? thru PC browser?

Will torrents work on it?

I dont have an HDD etc so can I simply plug in a 16GB pen drive to download?

Will torrents work on it? YES. But not OOTB, you will need to install ArchLinux

Sorry for being noobish here whats the advantage of using SATA ? Unless its drastic speed difference

Speeds on a GbE network should be more over SATA instead of USB 2.0
 
After the insane ZTE Blade and Seagate Dockstar deal threads, here we go again! :p

Props to you varkey! :thumb:

How much better is what I looking for?

Waiting for it! The version with an Ethernet port comes to $35 though.
@dinjo : You can expect about 30-40 MB/s over SATA. But all this will matter only if you go for Gigbit Ethernet. Otherwise it doesn't really matter.

Even at 35USD it is a steal.
 
If not through ICC then how did u order this?
varkey said:
Received the Pro as well the Pink.

Actual shipping weight of two PROs - 2.55kg and one Pink - 1.55kg. So I hope no one ordered it through SnS! The volumetric weight was even higher.



Buy.com sent the Pogo Pink in a box with a volumetric weight of about 4kg. Thank god I didn't opt for ICC PPO or even SnS.

Yeah the only difference between Pink and Pro is that Pro has WiFi and internal SATA in addition.
