Product summary
The good: Lets you carry around the most important elements of your own computer in an iPod; secure software leaves no trace on a host computer; automatically syncs data and updates changes on your computer; lets you use any PC in a familiar environment.
The bad: Works with only Windows XP/2000 and Internet Explorer; doesn't copy actual applications, only data; cannot copy files from iPod to another computer using Migo.
The bottom line: There's more to an iPod than just music. A Migo-powered iPod transforms any Windows XP/2000 system into the image of your own. And it works well.

Installation and setup are effortless; however, your iPod must be formatted for Windows and must be in disk mode. Once connected to your PC, a tiny application opens, and you'll be asked to designate which folders or files to synchronize. You can also select which elements of Outlook (2000, 2002, or 2003) you want copied, such as your e-mail, contacts, calendar, and so on. It's up to you to choose what critical data to store on your iPod, although the program won't copy the applications themselves.
When you connect your iPod to a friend's PC or even a public terminal, a small Migo graphic will appear at the top of the screen indicating the progress of Migo's data transfer. In a matter of seconds, the host computer will look virtually identical to your own, at least on the surface. The browser will be populated with your personal bookmarks, browsing history and cookies (convenient for logging into e-commerce sites or Web-based e-mail), and your personal data, including Word documents, photos, and MP3s, will appear just where you would expect to find them.
