Polaroid PoGo

OK... I'm still trolling through my stack of old magazines and stumbled on the details of the Polaroid PoGo camera -- launched in January of this year. OK, I'm behind. I admit it.

I don't know about you, but I have fond memories of Polaroid cameras and my Dad. He was a gadget-hound like I am -- guess I come by it rightly. In any case, this new digital Polaroid comes with a built-in printer (yes, I said built-in). You snap the pic and you print it, and unlike the Polaroid cameras from my youth -- you can store the picture, too. Oh, and you can choose to print your photo with the tell-tale Polaroid border of our (my) youth. Brilliant. I want one. What a fun thing to bring to a summer bbq with friends.

Anyone out there have one of these yet? I am so curious on how they feel. I loved, loved, loved the Polaroid press release. It noted that most people remember the fun of shaking the photo to make it materialize, which, of course, you don't have to do with this new Polaroid, unless you want to. This print comes out ready to view. "...the 'shake' is totally optional." Did I already say brilliant?
