The Xiao, from Takara Tomy Japan, is the Polaroid for the digital age. We all know that modern digital cameras are really the most convenient way to snap and share memories -- and this 5-megapixel digital camera is capable of functioning as just that: review and share digitally, etc. But just as there is something special about receiving a handwritten note rather than an e-mail... there is something we love about a Polaroid, and now a Xiao. This is a high-tech Japanese gadget that relies on technology from Massachusetts called ZINK. The integrated ink-less printer works using special paper. (For those who are curious, the paper is embedded with cyan/yellow/magenta crystals which are activated by the printer.) But what it means to the user is simple: it just prints, and you never think about ink. Pick the photo you want to share and in less than one minute, voila: 2x3 inch photo is in your hand. Specifications include a 2.5" LCD, SD/SDHC slot (max 32GB), and 16MB internal memory. In addition to black, the Xiao is available in cyan or magenta. Cute. All that we love about the Polaroid, and all that we love about digital cameras: all in one place.
