I guess it’s Polaroid’s way of catching up with technology. But really though, I don’t see the need why they had to phase out the Polaroid film entirely. A lot of photography enthusiasts out there are still into film and I think there are some people who are trying to bring film back. Sigh. Oh well.

But anyway, atleast there’s one good news about the Polaroid PoGo. It comes in PINK, now! Haha! And for every PoGo Instant Mobile Printer sold, $10 goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. So you get a really cool gadget while doing a good thing!

Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer Specifications:

• 2×3 borderless, full color images
• Uses Zink Technology for instant prints
• Connects via Bluetooth to compatible mobile phones and camera (Is my device compatible?)

Where to buy: Polaroid
Price: $49.99

I guess we really had no reason to be alarmed when Polaroid announced that they were stopping the production of the Instant Polaroid cameras since just recently, they announced that they’re bringing back instant film!

Except it’s not really instant film anymore, but more of ‘instant printing magic’!

The new Polaroid cameras will come with a built-in printer (PoGo, using Zink technology). The pictures though will still be the 4×3 rectangular size of the old Polariod cameras.

I will miss, however, the excitement of having your pictures “magically” appear on Polaroid film paper. Hehehe.

Who used to shake and fan their developing Polaroids before? (raises hand)

The new Polaroid cameras are expected to be available in 2009.

I knew it!

Polaroid is NOT dead! Hahaha! And you thought you guys can kill it!

Polaroid has this cool little printer called PoGo (Polaroid-on-the-go for short). It’s so small that you can actually put it inside your purse or bag. It uses Bluetooth technology to print out photos that are stored inside your mobile phone.

And if your camera has PictBridge you can use your digital camera with the PoGo, too! Not with Bluetooth though, you will be needing a cable.

PoGo is an inkless paper so you’ll need to buy special paper from Zink (Zero Ink Technology). It takes around 60 seconds for your image to appear… just like magic!

Long live Polaroids! Coming to stores next month!

Where to buy: Target
Price: $149
