Hey all,
check this out! As some of you may know Polaroid has worked with ZINK (zero ink) to put out an ipod sized printer that instead of using actual ink cartridges uses this special paper that is embedded with colored dye crystals that get heated up by the printer to make a photograph. Now of course the next step is to put this printer into a digital camera and voila...a digital Polaroid (kinda)! They will be marketing a version of this camera that spits out 2x3 prints hopefully this winter, but they also are in works to be producing a camera that will do the standard polaroid size of 4x3(sometime in 2009). It's not the same as a nice solid polaroid that develops before your eyes...but awesome none the less. If you are itching for this technology then there is a camera coming out in Japan starting November 28 (in America by April or May 2009)for around $320, the TOMY xiao TIP-521 Digital Camera. The neat thing about this camera is not only can you print within the camera but it also features an IrDA receiver so that you can print images sent to the xiao wirelessly from other IrDA devices (other cameras, phones). Pretty awesome stuff!
