LG’s Wireless Pocket Photo Printer For Android = Pretty Darn Cool
The device appears to be around the size of a hard disk (dimensions are 2.8 x 4.7 x 0.9), and uses Zero Ink (ZINK) technology to allow you to print full color photos without the need of ink cartridges or ribbons. It’s actually a really cool concept, and you can learn more about ZINK technology on the official website here.
At 170 dollars a pop, I can’t imagine this becoming incredibly popular just yet, but that could certainly change in a few years when they find ways of making the printer smaller and at a lower cost. As you can see from the demo video below, it seems to print pretty well, and I could imagine that there are plenty of people out there that could have use for such a device.
The Pocket Photo is set to be released in Korea soon, but we don’t have information on a US or European release date just yet.
You can view the printer in action in the video below (Vimeo link here):
Kind of cool right?

@Dvoraak - I would as well! Only a matter of time before we get something like that!
@Georg - LOL! True!
I also wonder about the battery. I can't imagine it being able to print dozens of photos on one charge.
@eric lolz
they dont work with the iphone anyway because you cant use the Bluetooth connection XD
Im curious as to how long the battery is supposed to last as this was a major issue with the Pogo - it had a battery life of about 2 hours or so.
It's a cool concept but would be even cooler if you could keep that form factor but adjust it for an 8x11 sheet. I'd be all over that no matter the cost.
@Georg - Same concept, but this one is designed to run specifically for Android **wink**
WANT.
It seems like a total rip off of the Polaroid Pogo printer which was released in 2008 - retails for about $40 these days
