It’s All Systems Go With The PoGo!
January 11th, 2010A friend of mine got a really clever little gizmo for Christmas. I don’t mean literally, after all, this isn’t a story that is linked to Spielberg’s ‘Gremlins’… It is a printer for mobile phones. The ‘PoGo’, by Polaroid, is only about the same size as a mobile and it is a very sleek looking bit of gadgetry.
But the weird thing about it is that the PoGo does not use any ink! I am not entirely sure how it actually works, but the paper (a special type called, ‘Zink’) must somehow be impregnated with each colour necessary to give you a print. The quality of the pictures as surprisingly good, I expected them to look a bit naff but they are actually very respectable.
Obviously, this device will only work with Zink printing paper and your pictures are only 3” x 2” in size… However, if you want to be able to just print off photographs straight from your mobile phone without all the clatting about of hooking it up to a computer, then this is your baby.
It is all very clever and it should appeal to a large amount of people. Teenagers whose lives revolve around their mobiles will love it and older people will find it a quick and simple way to get their family photographs printed. The PoGo is incredibly easy to use and it is compatible with an enormous amount of different handsets. But, before you rush out to buy one, check that your phone will support it. There is a long list of which mobile phones work with the PoGo on Polaroid’s website.
And just before I go; how does italy ski holidays online contest sound ?? Everybody must enter, I am determined to win this!
