"Amazon's Santa Monica press conference is still a few hours out, but some news has already begun to flow, starting with a fairly minor tidbit from Pogoplug. Beginning today, the company will be offering a new cloud storage solution, powered by Amazon's Glacier service. Two Family plans are available, including 100GB of storage for $29 or a full terabyte for $99, each billed annually. For a limited time, you'll also get a free Pogoplug device with either Family plan. Enterprise customers can opt for a Team plan -- prices start at $199 per year for five users and five terabytes of storage -- but it's unclear whether or not you'll score a $50 appliance there. Head over to the source link below to sign up. Update: We previously stated that the $29 plan included 100MB of storage, however the correct amount is 100GB. This misprint has been corrected.Show full PR text      POGOPLUG INTRODUCES NEW CLOUD STORAGE SERVICE USING AMAZON GLACIER     New Service Combines Safe, Affordable Cloud Backup with Instant Access and Sharing     San Francisco, CA, September 6, 2012 - Pogoplug today announced its new cloud storage service for families and small businesses.
