Motorola has a handful of modular attachments for
its Moto Z smartphone line. These attachments, dubbed Moto Mods, expand the
functionality of a phone. In this case, the Polaroid Insta-Share Printer, which
was announced earlier this year, allows you to capture a photo and print it on
2 x 3-inch ZINK paper.
We’ve known it was coming for a few months, and now
it’s available for preorder. It’s got a physical shutter you can use to launch
the camera and snap a photo, which it can then print out. In addition to
printing photos from the camera roll, it can also print photos from Instagram,
Google Photos, and Facebook.
Other Moto Mods have included a nifty 360-degree
camera, a short-throw projector, a gaming controller and battery pack, all of
which have failed to cause a huge impact in the UK market. This one may be
pretty pricey at US$ 200, and it’s also quite bulky, but there’s definitely some
appeal to it. Whether it’ll be a success or not, we’ll have to wait and see.
