Polaroid PoGo

The Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer allows you to print photos from your digital camera or camera phone on the spot. It will connect to PictBridge capable digital cameras and camera phones using either Bluetooth wireless technology or USB 2.0.

Because the PoGo printer is pocket sized it's very easy to tote along. With it's diminuitive size, it's capable of producing only a 2x3 inch sized borderless print. The pictures are said to be tear proof, smudge proof and water resistent. They print out within 60 seconds and present themselves with a peel off, sticky back for posting anywhere you would like.

Yes, Polaroid discontinued their old instant film cameras in 2008. It was the passing of an era but now they have an instant digital camera. The Polaroid PoGo is a 5 megapixel digital camera which features a large 3 inch LCD screen, 4x digital zoom, and a self-timer to allow you to include yourself in shots. It has an SD card slot to store images and it gives you image editing abilities such as cropping and red eye removal. The most innovative feature however is the fact that the PoGo has a built-in color printer.

It can produce a 2x3" borderless print within 60 seconds without using ink or toner. This instant camera applies heat to specially treated paper to make the images. After snapping a shot, you merely view your image to determine whether or not it needs editing and then print it with the press of a button. The special print paper is expected to sell for $5 per 10 piece pack or $13 for a 30 piece pack while the camera itself should retail at about $200.

The Polaroid PoGo will come with a USB cable and be compatible with both PC and Mac systems. Look for it on the market by March or April of 2009.
