Another new toy!

Ok. So we used to use a Polaroid i-Zone Pocket Instant Camera with sticky film, way back when we used to geocache before we were Team-Trouble. We would take a self-portrait shot and stick the photo-sticker in the logbook with our log. It was quite fun and I'm sure other people enjoyed looking at it too! Sadly, the only film that I could find was expired and started to not work anymore. Even worse, Polaroid decided to discontinue production of its instant film (see Engadget article).

However, lack of instant film does not mean lack of instant photos! As I was looking in Sunday's Best Buy ad, I found that Polaroid makes a pocket-sized photo printer that is called the Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer! It prints out 2"x3" photos on sticky-backed paper with no ink! Even better, it appears to be the size of a digital camera! Since it prints via Bluetooth, there is no need to carry a digital camera. We can use our cellphones!

I am really excited about this new little toy! It will also make it easier for us to add photos to our personal logbook.
