Being a company that I would think does not like how the government restricts everything, you'd think that they would make it so you can utilize it with your own content. works as advertised but is definitely over priced!
We understand the importance of enabling users to add their own content to the device, and we are equally eager to provide this functionality. However, due to the specific file type required to efficiently compress large amounts of data, we have encountered technical challenges in implementing this feature at this time.
That said, we are actively developing a new product that will offer this capability. While it is still in the development phase, we are committed to delivering a solution that meets these needs in the near future.
For everyone that understands that they COULD accumulate a digital library...but is too lazy to do it...buy a pocket.
The grid base pocket is awesome. Is like having a library in your pocket glad someone thought of making this. Plus dealing with this company has proved to be a great experience and they back up their products
Super cool! Works just as advertised - simple to use! Tons of priceless info! Highly recommend!
This little machine works flawlessly. I powered it on and my cell phone found it right away. It has so much information and stuff that is pertinent to a grid down situation. I highly recommend this and the company!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
"How does this work?"
Pocket operates similarly to a standard internet server with one key difference: Pocket references its own data. Unlike traditional Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that connect users to a bank of external servers hosting various websites, Pocket functions as a local server. While access to sites like Facebook is not available through Pocket, users can enjoy a vast array of resources including thousands of books, medical libraries, multimedia content, survival manuals, Wikipedia, and much more.
"Can I add my own information to it?"
Pocket is intentionally designed as a static drive, not intended for modification or additional content. Our customers consistently praise the curated content within Pocket, stating that it exceeds their expectations. Consequently, any minor additions you wish to make should be easily manageable by the device you use to access Pocket.
"How long does the battery last?"
Pocket is equipped with a 1200mAh battery, delivering a minimum of 4 hours of active usage and up to 12 hours of standby time. Additionally, Pocket can be powered directly through external battery banks, allowing users to extend the battery life as required using their own power sources.
"Is Pocket EMP hardened?"
Pocket is intentionally not EMP-hardened, as such hardening would compromise its ability to broadcast a Wi-Fi signal, which is essential for accessing the device. However, Pocket's compact design allows it to fit easily into various Faraday bags for added protection. We recommend SLNT for this purpose.
"Where would I use this?"
Pocket can be deployed anywhere, anytime. Some of our customers enjoy using Pocket on a plane when there is no inflight wi-fi; Others use it in their off-grid cabins. There is really no end to the uses Pocket could have but it shines most when access to traditional internet is limited or not permitted
"Does it need to be updated?"
Pocket is designed as a practical tool rather than a conventional tech device, and therefore, it does not require updates. While Wikipedia content could be updated, we believe that frequent updates are unnecessary for maintaining a comprehensive library within Pocket. Moreover, Pocket ensures the preservation of information without any revisionist history, serving as a reliable and unchanging repository of knowledge.
