Polaroid PoGo is I4U Top 100 Holiday Gadget Gift Guide Tip #46

Oct 3 2008, 12:00pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

The Polaroid PoGo instant mobile printer is not a Digital Camera, but we still list it in the Top 10 Digital Camera Gift tips as it brings back the fun of the Polaroid Instant cameras we used before we all went digital.
The Polaroid PoGo printer is small enough to carry in a pocket or jacket measuring 4.7 x 2.8 x 0.9 inches. It runs on batteries and you can print photos via Bluetooth or PictBridge over USB cable. Most digital cameras support PictBridge today.
This means with the Polaroid PoGo you can print out a digital snapshot under a minute for your friends or family right on the table. This brings back the instant joy of holding a photo in our hands and handing it around or pinning it on the wall.
The photos printed by PoGo are borderless and dry to the touch. The size of the instant photos is 2 x 3-inch.

For Whom:
For anybody who likes to print out physical photos everywhere and share them with friends.

The Good:
Compact design
Prints dry photos

Runs on Batteries

The Bad:
Price per photo is over 30 cents
No memory card slot

Where to Buy:
The Polaroid PoGo printer sells on Amazon.com for $149.76. Shop for photo paper and PoGo accessories here.
