I wonder if Polaroid will ever make a version of this that works with AirPrint:

Let me start by saying I really like the idea of a portable color picture printer. That said the idea of scanning in a picture I have digitally to print it seems a roundabout way to approach this problem. A few google searches revealed this [0] which is a small printer made by Polaroid to do just that (Note: it's a little older and does not work with iPhone but does work with some Android phones). It's $130 (not though Amazon and not prime) and has 4.5 stars (I skimmed the low reviews and I'd bet SnapJet would suffer from the same issues: battery life, picture quality, streaking after a few uses). It would appear that Polaroid is no longer in the stand-alone mobile printer business as they don't list the product on their site and it's only on reseller/auction sites now.
I find it hard to believe that the team behind SnapJet can deliver a product as good for close to the same price as Polaroid. Also I'd bet that Polaroid had a good reason for pulling the plug on their mobile printers (Demand, quality issues, high printing costs, etc). This seems like a very high risk KS (not that there are a large number of "sure thing" KS projects but still).
Lastly I see no mention of printing over BT/BLE which is the only reason I would buy it.
