Polaroid Releases PoGo, Makes Printing Instant!


Polaroid hopes to recapture some of their early nostalgia of instant cameras with their just released PoGo instant mobile printer. Based on Zink technology, the PoGo produces 2 by 3 inch pictures in under 2 minutes from most bluetooth enabled cellphones or digital cameras. Small enough for a pocket or purse (or man bag, if that's your thing), your $150 bucks gets you the distinction of being the cool trendy kid on the cutting edge, or the total dork who carries a mobile printer in your pocket. Either way, with only 15 prints per charge, $10 per 30 sheets, and just ok performance, it's looking like a lose-lose situation. Which sucks, cuz I really wanted this thing to be cool. Maybe at a lower price point more people will bite on novelty alone. Oh well...
