I was just out as Best Buy and saw this and thought it was the neatest thing!

The pictures are only 2"x3", but they'd be cute for a little memory book and the paper they print on is already adhesive backed. I'm thinking something like a little pre-made accordion book you could take to a party, then put in the pics and give to the host or birthday girl at the end of the night.
Best Buy actually has it on sale for $79.99, though I'm guessing that ends tonight with a new week of sales starting tomorrow.

Oooh, that's cute! I love 2x3 (so sad that CVS took that off their picture maker - make 2 2x3 on a 4x6). I'm definitely going to check it out, but I'd love to know if someone has used it.

I haven't used one but they have reviews on Best buy online and Amazon.

My dad actually helped design it, so I can give you a little information on it. The few times I used it while it was in development, I wasn't sure about it, but when he brought home the finished product and we printed stuff out, I was stunned. We used it a few weeks ago on a bus tour of 5 scrapbook stores, and took photos of everyone to give them for later - they all loved them!
The ink is already in the paper, and the printer heats it to melt at different temperatures. It's very clear, the resolution translates well. You can hook it up to cameras or use it with Bluetooth on your phone, I've only used it with a camera, but I liked the shots I printed out. You get about 14 photos printed out per battery is what I found.
I love it, and I'm not just saying that 'cause it's my dad's. :)
They are also doing a 2x3 right now with a camera built in, but if you like the 2x3s, this is great!
Edited: Sorry, I gave the wrong size for the printer/camera! Whoops - this is what I get for trying to remember things without asking him.

I saw this on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Polaroid-PoGo-Instant-Digital-Camera/dp/B001RIYUJQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1242604190&sr=8-1 but it says the pictures will be be 2"x3" as well. I'd be tempted, but between the regular digital I have and the underwater digital I'm getting next month, I just can't imagine buying another camera. :headache: But I do like the idea of being able to print on the Pogo from either using a cable.
