New PoGo Instant Digital Camera Still No Instamatic, But Cool Enough
No matter what they do, the new Polaroid PoGo Instant digicam will never have the magic nature, heartwarming charm, and craptastic retro quality of their good old Instamatics. But they are kind of cool, anyway. More »

Giant Polaroid Flipbook Machine Holds 987 'Roids, Plays Your Short Film
Can it get any more adorably indie than a short film portrayed on 987 Polaroids that display flipbook-style on a giant drum inside a machine called the "Process Enacted Mutoscope"? I'm thinking no. The rig is pretty cool, though—letting you control the speed of playback frame-by-frame, as you can see in the video that follows. The obvious genre for films using the ol' Mutoscope, though, should be "Victorian Softcore." More »

Polaroid Bringing Back Classic 4x3 Insta-Prints With Forthcoming Digital Zink Cam
While the tears spilled mourning the death of Polaroid's instant film division are still somewhat damp, the company has a little spark of an announcement that could make hardcore 'roiders (of the best kind) happy—the company looks like it's finally getting serious about building its Zink instant digital printing tech into a camera. And it won't use the diminutive 2 x 3 inch format currrently spit out by the PoGo printer, which is the only product that currently features Zink tech. Instead, the new camera is planning to use the classic 4x3 vertical rectangle size, which became the company's trademark. And they're even taking (or pretending to take) suggestions from the public on the camera's features. More » -

Polaroid Instant Digital Picture Frame Is the Only Frame I Want
The Polaroid instant digital picture frame is just that, a digital screen in the shape and size of an old Polaroid instant photo (my favorite.) It may not seem as ingenious as the Digital Jewel Box, but we can't resist its retro charm, and the possibility of writing messages on its dry erase surface. Not to talk about pinning them to a cork board or the way it shows the images themselves. More »

Sony #1 in LCD; Biggest Names Hold Fast, But Cheap-o Brands Taking Out Weaker Competition
Last quarter was an all-out TV-maker battle, and you my friends were the territory. DisplaySearch's results for Q4 '07 declared the victor in the US LCD category to be Sony for the very first time. Panasonic handily crushed all comers in the smaller US plasma race. Samsung, with strong #2 finishes in both, ended up remaining the #1 overall TV brand in the country, and LG also held its own.

Polaroid Portable DVD Player, No Shaking Required
Polaroid—yes, that Polaroid—has announced their latest portable DVD player, the PDJ-0793. Most of the time I don't get a flying hoot about these portable players because a laptop can do the same job and is a bit more functional, but this one looks a little better than the average bear and has a reasonable price. The PDJ-0793 has a 7-inch screen mounted on a swivel base. It displays at a 16:9 aspect ratio and the battery life is average at about three hours. It also includes a headrest mount for the kiddos in the minivan. But the best feature of all, it doesn't require shaking to get the image to fade in—good job stepping it up in the technology world, Polaroid. Available for $175 or so. More »

Polaroid's 80GB PMP
Polaroid is going to hit the PMP market big it seems. The company's new Portable Media Player with 80GB of storage was shown at CES and it looks promising. Aside from the huge amount of storage that's included, it features a widescreen display for crisp movie viewing. The interface seems to work fine, and even though the size of the player itself is somewhat big, it works well with such a nice screen. Kind of like the PSP was first received. It's got a late August of 2006 release date, but word is that the price will be around $600. Pretty expensive when you think of the other alternatives and such out there, but it could still be a winner if the price dropped down to $500. Keep an eye out for it. More »

Kids Poloroid Booth-Bring on the Fun
If you miss stuffing yourself into one of those curtained booths to take photos that always came out looking awful, you'll really appreciate the My Photo Booth Polaroid camera ($35). Of course, it's really made for kids, but you don't have to tell anyone if you really dig it. It's got a little mirror and comes with a timer and flash for the same type of booth photos you know and love. Of course, the pics you get are on the tiny iZone film, and will only be one-inch by one-inch, but they can be made into stickers, so it's all worth it. Comes with a roll of film, though it looks like it only uses the older iZone film, not the newer iZone 200, making it harder to find. However, check Amazon.com or go straight to Polaroid for refills.

Polaroid iZone 300
Polaroid seems to have carved out a niche for themselves in the teenage female market, especially with their fun iZone line. They've stepped it up to the digital age with the iZone 300, which is marketed to young women in general. The white design is reminiscent of the iPod, and while it's only 3.2 megapixels, it'll supposedly sell for cheap. The iZone 300 also sports a 3x digital zoom, a 1.5 inch LCD display, 8MB internal memory, and an SD card slot so ladies can take more photos of slumber parties or night club bouts or whatever it is young girls do these days. Although with a camera that looks this sweet, guys would probably want to get their hands on it too. More »
