They're basically a guruplug in drag from what I recall.
Yes the guru/ultraplug is meant as a full featured dev machine and has
more flash and ram, the pogoplug is meant to be a cheap limited
embedded machine that you arent supposed to pull apart.. but for 25
bucks it is hard NOT to. :)
The pogoplugs depending on the version, can ship with an oxnas armv6
processor though which is different then the guru/ultra plugs.
Supposedly there are some proprietary driver issues, according to the
archlinux site.
