My friend Kelvin couldn't resist the temptation of Polapremium's big discount on the "Polaroid Pogo Moleskine Special Edition" and despite the not so good reviews all over the net, I said "count me in" knowing that I will need a real small photo printer for my travel journals. We both regretted on the day we received the package.
The price is amazingly attractive. A PoGo alone costs US$80 to $150, but Polapremium is selling this special set at US$72, you get a free Moleskine too. I love both brands and the packaging is great. The size of it is a little bigger than an iPhone and about double the thickness of an iPhone. The first thing I did was to charge it up but to my surprise the power socket on PoGo is kind of shaky probably because of it not being soldered to the circuit board strong enough by design. The power button on the machine is hard to press and located right beside the USB cable which is very inconvenient. After more than 6 hours of charging, the printer printed 6 photos and the battery indicator became red and refused to print another one. Yeah I know, I was warned about battery life but this is not portable at all.
Print quality.... totally unacceptable. It looks like a result of laser print out (you can actually see the contours of color layers especially in dark areas), but resolution of an inkjet (I know, I'm not able to describe it properly but this is how I feel). You can also see faint white vertical lines every 3mm on the print, not a good sight as a photo. The paper gives you an impression of cheap labels instead of a photo print with glue on the back. I cannot find any information about the acidity of the paper and glue.
I know these are pretty crude comments, considering the amazing zero ink technology by Zink behind this. I think it has great potential, just that both the paper and the machine are not mature enough to give end user a good photo print coz it is natural for us to compare print quality with a lab or a typical photo printer despite high admiration of its technology behind. I love the size, bluetooth printing and pictbridge support. I hate the battery and print quality. For serious photo journaling people, I cannot recommend PoGo.

This is the Pogo Sketch stylus with PaperDesk Lite on iPad. It works pretty well, though you need to press a bit harder than you initially expect (the tip is soft and compressible, and doesn't mark the screen). It's also smaller than most regular pens; it's about the length of an iPhone.
It's perfectly fine for quick sketches; I'm using it for UX scribbles at the moment. Very nice to have a pen around for occasional use. As it's designed to trigger capacitive touch surfaces, it'll work with iPhone/iPod touch, iPad, your MacBook's trackpad, and other such devices.
Many thanks to gentleman-about-Twitter @timgentry for sending me this!
The new Polaroid Pogo printer. It prints thru usb or bluetooth straight from your camera or camera phone. It doesn't use any ink, the paper is magic.

This is Fred Gryzbowski the pogo stick dude. He travels the country and the world showing off his crazy pogo skills and a couple of his world record feats. I got to witness his performance last month at Harvard Square, Cambridge, Ma. ~
