How could we fail to remember the old Polaroid camera, which was capable of forking out an image as soon as a picture was captured? I can still remember my father waving a printed Polaroid pic in the air hoping that it grows that much faster. Now it looks like that Polaroid camera has come of age with a new digital version of the renowned camera that was first rolled out in the 70’s.

Last week, Polaroid and Zink together came up with the introduction of a new digital camera known as PoGo, which boasts of offering instant photo print features. Back in July, Polaroid had released the PoGo mobile photo printer. With an integrated printer, the latest camera gives the impression of being pretty like Tomy’s Xiao camera, which was rolled out last year.
