That's not even the point. Polaroids were never meant for high-end, high-res photography. They were meant for fun snapshots to share with your friends. Polaroid got this one right on the button because the wallet-sized photo stickers are a great little gadget for sharing snapshots with and of your friends. This is definitely a niche product, but I am already regularly using my Pogo printer to print pictures that I've been sticking in to the pages in my pocket Moleskine.
The biggest weakness is the battery life sucks really bad. You'll want to charge up every opportunity you have. Hopefully one day Polaroid will wake up and sell spare batteries (they are rechargeable but not a standard size), and convert the AC adapter into a battery charger so we don't have to take the Pogo out of commission to recharge it all the time.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
