New Purchases 1 - Pogo

I'm afraid I've went a little mad over the past few weeks when it has come to making new purchases.

In the middle of last week one some of these purchases arrived. My husband and I are gadget freaks, we love new and fun technology, so on complete impulse I clicked "add to cart" on this.

It is a wireless, portable photo printer, which allows you to send pictures from your mobile to it. It comes is pink as well and I have seen it advertised in red, but not for sale yet. It uses zink paper, which means there is no ink cartridges to buy and the paper is embedded with crystals to allow the colour to come out. When the pictures come out they are dry and pretty indestructible. When we printed the first one I dipped it into a cup of coffee (to my other 1/2's horror) to see just how indestructible it was. It takes just 60 seconds from deciding to send until it has finished printing. The printer also allows pictures to be sent directly from your camera via a picbridge cable or from a laptop with a bluetooth dongle.

When I read up on it the reviews talked about picture quality, but to be honest if the pictures are taken in good light with a decent camera they come out ok, certainly no worse than one of the old Polaroid cameras. All in all pretty cool and if you can get it for less than £50 (~$70) then it's worth a buy for fun. Of course what I really want is

Be still my beating heart. This is a 5MP TOMY xia TIP-521 Digital Camera with integrated printer, also using Zink paper. Unfortunately this baby is still only available in Japan, so I will have to wait a bit longer.
