Firebox have got the Polaroid PoGo printer going for the bargain price of £49.95 now! Schweet! I’ll let Firebox lay out the description:
Brimming with breakthrough technology, this ultra-sleek inkless portable printer is brought to you by Polaroid, legendary purveyors of instant piccies, and it’s just as idiot-proof as the photo-spewing cameras you played with back in the day. All you do is send your pics to the PoGo wirelessly via Bluetooth (mobile phone) or with a USB lead (PictBridge-friendly camera) and watch in awe as this smart gizmo churns out a quality image on a 2″x3″ slice of sticky-back photo paper in under 60 seconds. In a word, wow! You can then peel off the backing and stick your pics wherever you fancy.
Unlike old-style instant photos you won’t have to shake your pics dry because the PoGo uses miraculous heat-activated Zink paper, no ink cartridges required. It’s like magic minus the abracadabras and arched eyebrows. What’s more the prints are smudge-proof, water-resistant, fade-resistant and tear-proof. Print off that hilarious photo of your over-refreshed colleague asleep on the photocopier with his pants pulled down and stick it on the boss’s door and it’ll be there for ages. Probably.Powered by a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery or directly via the mains, the PoGo holds 10 sheets of Zink paper at a time – more than enough for a night of sticky piccy fun. And with additional paper packs available right here at Firebox you can re-load, juice-up and indulge in instant print-offs whenever you want: parties, business trips, festivals, holidays, debauched nights out – you name it.
If you want to check it out in more detail, go to the Firebox website here. To me it looks like a great solution to the age-old problem of actually making use of the pics from your Mobile – yes, we’re all guilty of not shipping them off there often enough, and doing something with ‘em! This bit-a-kit solves that issue 
About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
