Instant Digital Prints
“Now, Polaroid wants to conjure up those golden analog days of vast sales and instant gratification — this time with images captured by digital cameras and camera phones. This fall, the company expects to market a hand-size printer that produces color snapshots in about 30 seconds. Beam a photograph from a cellphone to the printer and, with a gentle purr, out comes the full-color print — completely formed and dry to the touch. The printer, which connects wirelessly by Bluetooth to phones and by cable to cameras, will cost about $150. The images are 2 inches by 3 inches, the size of a credit card. The new printers are so lightweight that a Polaroid executive demonstrating them recently had three tucked unnoticeably into various pockets of his trim jacket, whipping them out as if he were Harpo Marx. ”

I think this is a great idea. A perfect way to print out pictures that you have just taken with your phone. Instead of uploading them to your computer. Then having to go through the hassle, sending it quickly to a hand-size printer will be alot easier.
