Back in the day, Polaroid was the king of on-the-go photo printing. Now the company is poised to make a comeback with the PoGo Instant Mobile Printer, an 8-ounce rechargeable printer that can print via PictBridge or by syncing with Bluetooth devices.
The PoGo produces 2×3 inch borderless photo with peel-off layer covering a sticky back. While the color quality leaves something to be desired, it’s good enough for casual use. In addition, the photos are water and scratch resistant. By using ZINK (Zero Ink) technology, which embeds clear dye crystals underneath a clear polymer overcoat and uses heat to activate color in the crystals.
Once you drop the paper into the paper tray, you’re set to print approximately 15 photos per charge, Polaroid says. Print times range from a minute via PictBridge to 1:57 by Bluetooth. Cost per photo is currently as low as 33.3 cents.
The PoGo’s attractiveness lies squarely in the realm of gadget appeal, but it’s easy to get excited about the freedom to print a picture anytime, anywhere with ease.
For promotional price, you can buy this Polaroid Pogo for only $149.99 from buy.com

they should really come out with a new on the go with the photo taking option as well, not just the print option. It does look sleek though!

Very cool looking…but without top notch color, what’s the use? Much of what I would use it for requires pinpoint color palettes.

Nice little printer! If you want more quality - better go with a premium printer. I got mine free at freeprinterpromo.com

That’s pretty amazing, I haven’t done research on mobile printers lately, that thing is tiny. That would be so great to use for trips! It’s just sad you can only get 15 photos per charge, I would expect a lot more. But, that’s not a real big deal, as long as the pictures are quality. From looking and reading your post, they look like good quality pictures.
