Celebrating their 70th anniversary this year, Polaroid are back in fine form dropping one of the most interesting products we came across, the Digital Instant Mobile Photo Printer using ZINK's zero ink printing technology and bluetooth. While it may be an obvious step in the evolution of the Polaroid range--marrying the relatively inexpensive digital snapshot culture with the joy of instant prints--the good news is the photo paper is expected to retail for about 30% of current polaroid paper making it much more accessible. Check out the video for a slightly over-caffeinated presentation from the floor.

  Just cant see this taking off. It's too big for a start. Most people would just use their mobile phones for taking snaps.

  Pretty Impressive. I can't imagine what technology will bring us in 5 years.
