Remember the old, mahoosive instant Polaroid cameras from back in the day? oh yeh, aye aye. Well, Polaroid is launching an up to date, slick digital version - the PoGo Instant Digital camera/printer combo.  

You can view, crop and even add borders then print your pictures in less than 60 seconds on 2×3-inch, peel-off, sticky-backed paper. The camera easily connects to a PC or Mac where photos can be uploaded and saved from the camera’s 16 MB internal memory or optional SD card. It measures 4.7-inches wide by 3-inches tall and weighs only 10 ounces. Pretty nifty.

It’s going to be available the beginning of March for around £130 and don’t forget you will also need packs of ZINK Photo Paper too (around £8 for 30 sheets). Good fun tho’.

WiFi is everywhere, literally, so just take a look at this hi-tech brolly by Pileus. Invented in Tokyo,no…never,it boasts a built in camera and soon to be video camera.

Fancy taking a few photos en route to your destination?  Well, they can be uploaded in minutes wirelessly to Flikcr and da daaaaa you can watch the photo-streams on your brolly screen with the flick of a wrist! Craziness, but really a) why would you want to do this and b) what happens if it’s raining?

It also has, wait for it, GPS and a digital compass which uses Google Earth to help you get around, quite impressive and also a bit of fun, i suppose?!
