I don't think this is new is it? Polaroid had a little printer called
the Pogo (I have one) which is the size of a p&s. It has a
rechargeable battery and prints those little stickers from a usb link
to a digicam (pictbridge). I think there was a camera (maybe under a
different brand) with the printer built in. Maybe the wifi is new...
