Since we last spoke about the Polaroid Instant Camera, I was buying up an obscene amount of film in preparation for the Polaroid apocalypse. As you know, after January 2009, there won't be any more instant film produced — and I couldn't be more depressed about it. But in an attempt to appease the instant-film lovers out there, Polaroid has taken things to the next level and has produced the PoGo — a portable printer that lets you print photos wirelessly from your cellphone (via Bluetooth) or from your digital camera (via USB).

As much as I appreciate the effort, I am still skeptical that the PoGo can fully live up to the love for the Instant Camera. However, I'm willing to give it a try. I recently came across the PoGo at Target (as you can see I spend way too much time there). To see my first impressions of the PoGo, just read more.
Although I wasn't able to test it out myself, the PoGo is amazingly small. It's about the size of a deck of cards, and could easily be tossed in my bag when I'm on the go. The PoGo prints out borderless 2-x-3-inch photos in a matter of seconds, and as far as I can tell from recent reviews, seems to have pretty good print quality for a device of its size. Although at $150, I could buy a new laptop bag, or a great desktop printer for the same price. And even though the PoGo is not compatible with my iPhone, I could still print wirelessly from my Blackberry. The jury is still out for me, but would you consider picking up a PoGo?

i think the pogo is a great idea and it's $99 at my local target. also, i thought i read somewhere that there is a full size printer coming out with the zink technology.
1They dropped the price to 99 recently, which isn't to bad. Plus I work at Target so I get an extra 10 percent off : )
2I got one at the new, lower price and I love it! I rarely print out pictures because it seems like a pain, but the pogo is really fun. I can't wait to use it at a get-together - I think it will be a real hit.
3naw. i don't ever print pics.
4Take the place of your Polaroid!? Are you serious? Of course not! That's photographic blasphemy.
5nope, not the same.
6I like to take the polariods apart and mess with the emulsion some.
Nothing can replace poloroids!
7i really like this and i'm looking forward to using it when i get it for my little sister for xmas!
8I Belive that there is a pogo with camara included
9My sister bought this a few months ago and it prints out the cutest pics, so I looked on ebay to try to get it cheap. I won one for $20 so I got a great deal on it.
Haven't seen one that cheap on there since. LOL.
