Polaroid Pogo

I'm a little late with the review of this Polaroid Pogo but I just thought this was the neatest little printer that I've seen.  I have not purchased one yet but I wanted to just put it out there because I thought it was really neat.  I will probably end up getting one sooner than later but for right now I've just been reading about it and just wanted to share.  I'm actually still reading about it to make sure that I even want to purchase it.


Polaroid Pogo Photo Paper Slot





So far after reading a couple blogs and researching it does have its pros and cons. Below I'll list what I have found thus far.

 

Pros:

-  It's small

-  No Ink Needed

-  Has a sticky backing so you can use it like a sticker photo for crafting (if you like that)

-  Has a Lithium Ion battery

-  Works great with Android phones, no app required

-  Prints via Bluetooth

Cons:

-  Only holds 10 sheets of photo paper at a time

-  From phone (or device) to Polaroid printer, takes a minute or so to print

-  Photo quality is not as advertised (per research)

-  iPhone users must jailbreak to use and then download app

         *Jailbroken iPhones will need to download the Celeste app from Cydia.

         *Jailbreaking iPhones are NOT illegal in the US (for now)

My overall feel about this product is that from what I read its an okay product.  It's great to use if you travel alot and love to do photo journalism.  I do plan on getting one to try it out and will update this blog when I do so.  Otherwise feel free to leave comments on what you think if you have one or not.  Thank you for reading!

I also tried looking to see if maybe there was a manufacturers coupon, but I have not found any. I tried.  But you can definitely visit their site http://polaroid.com/products .
