Polaroid Instant Cameras Return With the PIC-1000

by Jay Garrett on January 10, 2010

Polaroid has confirmed its come-back with the promise of releasing a new Polaroid instant camera later this year.

There’s been a campaign and the Impossible Project rallied to keep the format alive by actually buying a Polaroid Film factory and promised us a new camera this year.

And here it is. The new camera will come in three colours – silver, black and faux wood and offer fans of the romanticised format to relive those glory days.

Other points are a tad sketchy but I’m guessing that these new cameras will follow the tried-and-tested designs of old.

Polaroid says that the new PIC-1000 will cost around £60.

PrintBrush – Tiny Hand Held Printer Coming Soon

by Jay Garrett on September 17, 2009

PrintBrush_redOoooo…..lookee!

British company PrintDreams reckons it’s ready to break out the world’s smallest printer called the PrintBrush!

The PrintBrush will print out in A4, black and white, at up to 600dpi resolution.

It works by you sweeping the device across the printing surface (generally paper) by hand.

The manual labour of printing does have a plus side though. It means that you’ll be able to print directly onto books, cards, boxes, furniture and everything else that will take print yet is usually seen as being unable to be shoved through a regular printer.

The other plus point is that the PrintBrush is to be sillent….shhhhh…….so sweeping out a few A4’s during your bosses boring speech can be done ninja style.

The lightweight (250g) PrintBrush connects directly to computers and other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or infrared.

Word is that it’ll cost in the region of £120 and PrintDreams reckon the PrintBrush will be available by the end of this year.

Check out the vid of the tiny British printer at work:
