Print media is dying.]]>Aug 12th 2008 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/Aug 12th 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/
Right. That's why J. K. Rowling is a billionaire and now this vampire novel thing is sweeping the planet.

That's what I want to do when I want to give my girlfriend or parents a collection of pictures as a gift: hand them a DVD-ROM and tell them to go hunch over their keyboards while browsing them on their cheap-ass LCD panel, instead of flipping through a nicely bound album on the couch.

You know what else is dying? Taste. Judgment. Quality.]]>Aug 12th 2008 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/Aug 12th 2008 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/Aug 12th 2008 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/
I work for a company & two times a year we need to take hundreds of polaroids in a couple of days for a conference. We bought up a bunch to make it 2 or 3 years. Maybe we'll switch to this version. Too bad they're smaller & look like they cost more (a bad combo).

But now all I've done is made you happy, because all you wanted was the attention in the first place. What, did mommy forget to tuck you in last night?]]>Aug 12th 2008 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/
The only people i know that print pictures is my mom. And that because she wants to through an occasional one in a frame.

But it's a whole lot cheaper to upload your images and and chose the ones you want printed and pick them up or have them delivered.

Look at your amazing workflow:

Take a compressed digital picture, then upload it somewhere for it to be downsized and RECOMPRESSED, and then pay for someone else to print it and ship it.

It's sad the film will die and then people will routinely squander the benefits of digital acquisition, as you apparently plan to.]]>Aug 12th 2008 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/
I was referring to my mom and most adults in their 50s and 60s who always knew of pictures in the paper form.

She just uploads them to the Walgreens website, picks the ones she wants, then when she goes pick up her medication or something at Walgreens she gets the pics she wanted.

It's very popular and most retail stores offer it now and it actually saves a lot of time.

Just sayin', is all.]]>Aug 12th 2008 5:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/
There's no opportunity to make suggestions, as the host article claims. For example, no way to urge them to forget ridiculous pixel counts and go for low noise instead. No way to suggest that the camera also be able to function as a portable printer when hooked up to a computer. No way to emphasize the importance of wide angle and not zoom.

Why bother, Polaroid?]]>Aug 12th 2008 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/Aug 12th 2008 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/
I'd love a camera with built-in wireless, or a way to tag a photo in the camera, and it gets uploaded to a friend when you plug the camera in the computer. I always hear "e-mail me that photo" but I forget to send it.]]>Aug 12th 2008 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/look into it. ]]>Aug 12th 2008 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/
It's kind of humorous if you think about it. Analog and expensive instant prints are leaving the scene and now we're going to have digital, smaller, still expensive prints with a sticky back on them. Woo Hoo!!!

Even though it has yet to be seen, I'll wager that Polaroid will not allow you to print to it's camera's integrated printer from another computer or camera.

Why doesn't Polaroid implicitly state whether you can print to a pogo printer with USB or if it has pictbridge support?

Right on their front page: "No computer connections needed. Print directly from your camera's cell phone or digital camera"

From my camera's cell phone? No. Invest in a new editor? Yes.]]>Aug 12th 2008 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/

If none of you have ever played with a Polaroid at a party and seen how it changes peoples mood and such, you wouldnt know why Its such an amazing product. Instant Gratification is kind of a big deal here on Earth.

For all of you digital only people, cool do your thing, call me when your hard drive smokes and you lose everything.

For all of you enjoying film still, just do your thing. just dont be a snob.

Pros know Polaroid was huge until digital, and Artists still use it for everything from transfers to studio work. We need a new medium to fill that hole. this is it.

Give me an 8x12 Zink Printer at 600 dpi and Polaroid like color saturation and I bet we see a huge mainstream market materialize out of supposed thin air.

People are stupid, tech like this is perfect, its idiot proof. ]]>Aug 12th 2008 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/Aug 13th 2008 2:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/

Yeah, I kid. So, it costs me about $2.50 a shot, but they have an awesome vintage look. The way they capture light is quite different from image sensor in a digicam.

I have my digital camera and love it for the everyday and the mundane, but when I wanna take a different kind of photo, I reach for the Spectra.]]>Aug 12th 2008 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/Aug 12th 2008 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/polaroid-digicam-to-feature-integrated-pogo-printer-in-2009/Aug 13th 2008 11:45AM
