Patent app for touchscreen printer from Sony Surfaces

Posted in: patent, patent application, PatentApplication, printer, sony, Today's Chili

An interesting concept from Sony has come to light courtesy of the US Patent & Trademark Office, deftly titled: “Image forming device, having an ejection tray, and a display is mounted to a cover.” That’s a lot of words to describe what is basically a Surface-like touchscreen mounted onto a flat, clamshell printer (shown open after the break). The idea is for users to set their cameras down, view and manipulate images wirelessly, and then print them directly to honest to gosh paper. It appears to be quite a bit smaller than Microsoft’s uber-table, and a lot less likely to get Al Roker’s groove on too, but it also looks rather more practical and affordable; something you might actually expect to see in someone’s home in the next few years. But, don’t get too excited about the real-world prospects here — your guess is as good as ours about Sony’s plans for bringing this to market.

Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera hands-on

Posted in: digicam, Features, hands-on, printer, Today's Chili

Polaroid’s PoGo Instant Digital Camera isn’t for the hardcore geeks — it’s stuck with a 5 megapixel sensor, no optical zoom whatsoever and an LCD monitor that was fanciful in 1998. What it can do, however, is churn out photo stickers in around 60 seconds after a photo is taken without the need for an external printer. Have a look at the March-bound unit below, and look, your kids will love it. Promise.

Dell (finally) confirms its portable Wasabi Zink printer

Posted in: printer, Today's Chili

Details are frustratingly absent, but Dell just came clean on that portable Zink printer of theirs, the Wasabi, that we saw run by the FCC in September. Luckily, all these Zink printers are pretty much the same — meaning specialized 2 x 3-inch paper for ink-free printing, and a pretty stonking tiny form factor. Like most of the rest of the products introduced at Dell’s ridiculously uninformative press event today, there’s no word on price or release date.

Polaroid PoGo Instant Digital Camera debuts at CES

Posted in: digicam, printer, Today's Chili

We heard that Polaroid would be punching out a PoGo-infused camera in 2009, and it only took ’em eight days into the new year to do just that. Today at CES, the $199 PoGo Instant Digital Camera is making its grand entrance, utilizing the tried-and-true ZINK printing technology. Sadly (and we do mean sadly), there’s not even a mention of how many megapixels this thing boasts, which is a pretty telling sign that you won’t be getting SD850IS-type quality out of it. Nevertheless, it’ll print out ink-free 2- x 3-inch images right from itself, so maybe the quality isn’t that big of a deal after all. Or maybe we’re just sympathetic.
