Trusted Reviews have published a review of the Polaroid PoGo Instant Mobile Printer. 'Under test, the good news is we've found a printer that lives up to its claimed print speed. Polaroid says it takes ‘about a minute' to produce a print, and we measured it at ‘about a minute' printing from Bluetooth and via a PictBridge cable from a digital camera. This seems like a good speed, considerably faster than standalone inkjet or dye-sublimation printers, until you remember that the print size is only a quarter of the standard from these other printers. Linking the PoGo to a Bluetooth phone is very straightforward and once we got the phone to do a Bluetooth search, it spotted the Polaroid printer and linked to it without problem. It only takes around four seconds longer to print via Bluetooth than to print over PictBridge.
