I really don't see the point in getting one of those. You might as well
get a SheevaPlug or wait a few days and get a RaspberryPi. Not that I
think that 512MB or 256MB, respectively, is anywhere nearly sufficient
for today's bloatware, but it still a vast improvement on 128MB in the
PogoPlug.

"The device is based on Marvell 88F6192 chip with ARM V5 CPU clocked at
800Mhz with 128 RAM and runs Linux."
which matches what is said here:

"Thank you for contacting Pogoplug Support. We are using a Marvell
88F6192 chip with ARM V5 CPU 800Mhz and 128 ram"
And someone posted a link to a promo price for it (50 dollars)
http://shop.pogoplug.com/promo/89184900
http://shop.pogoplug.com/promo/89186300
Click both, fix qty, update, and boom. 50% off plus free shipping.

However the Marvell 88F6192 although listed at 800mhz doesn't have usb3
native, so maybe they added a pcie-usb3 chip to it or the SoC has been
updated?

This does have the dual core oxnas chip in it.
As I said these devices currently run linux 2.6.31 only and upgrading
the kernel to something newer is not an easy task. It is possible, but
will require a lot of work to forward port the SoC support to newer
kernels. Because of this they are of very limited use for Fedora.
If you are looking into buying something for Fedora usage then better
pick one based on an CPU that have an actively maintained kernel and
preferably supported mainline.
There was a new pogo plug series 4 announced yesterday for $99
although I've found it for $75 [1] already. The interesting thing
about it is that it comes with 2x USB-3 ports, a sata port (in the
form of USM), gig ethernet and SD. Didn't manage to find decent
internal specs for it but it looks like it might be a Marvell [3]
processor, if so there should be reasonable support as the XO has a
Marvell processor. To support the gig, 6gb sata and 2 usb3 ports I
would suspect it would have to be some form of ARMv7 but it looks like
it could be an interesting device when more of the details emerge.
