Pogoplug Enables (Hallelujah) iPad Printing, Ships Two New Gadgets

iPad-slash-Pogoplug users, quit yer whining that your iPad doesn’t print, find an iPad-sans-Pogoplug user and launch into an obnoxious victory dance in their immediate vicinity.

That’s right, Pogoplug has just begun rolling out a firmware update that’ll enable printing from any iDevice (so iPhone/iPt users get to shake a little booty also) to any 2005-or-newer vintage Epson or HP printer. The release says the rollout will stretch out over a week, so be patient.

All-business, pink-hating Pogopluggers and ‘Pluggers with their ‘Plugs way over on the other side of the room from their routers will be happy to hear that the $300 Pogoplug Biz (which ditches the hot pink highlights for stark grey and comes with a whole bunch of enterprise upgrades) and the $30 Wireless Extender (a USB dongle that obviously obviates the need for an ethernet cable connection) ship today. More good news: Current Pogoplug owners get the Wireless Extender for free.

Hey there and thanks for the blog post – I’ve most definitely learned something interesting on here. I did however come across a few technical problems with this blog on my google chrome browser, because I needed to keep loading the web page quite a few times before it would render properly. However that’s not a big problem, recent update to my browser fixed it. I’m adding this web RSS to my email and look forward to more of your informative content. Please update this again sometime soon.
