Communicating with Polaroid Pogo

I've just purchased one of these super printers and now see that it would appear that the only phone it doesn't sync to is the Iphone. Does anyone know how to get round it?

Dell, Windows XP, none

You are correct, there is nothing on Polaroid's website in relation to the iPhone, except what I saw in the phone compatibility page. But you don't need inside information to see what's happening here. If you know anything about Polaroid, and you can read all you need on their website, you'll see they would like nothing more than to be compatible with every phone on the market, especially the iPhone. I'm no computer genius but I would think it wouldn't cost too much to create an application to make it happen. I'm just hoping Apple and Polaroid can get together on this because they make such a great pair ... both are American icons with great products.

Well, it is NOT Polaroids fault as Apple has some technical restrictions regarding the Bluetooth function. This is said so by Polaroid:
"Sorry! The Apple iPhone and iPhone 3G are not compatible.
Although the iPhone includes Bluetooth, there currently is no Bluetooth transfer capabilities such as "send via Bluetooth".
If you would like to encourage Apple to become compatible with our printer, please click here or contact Apple directly at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and request Apple consider enabling the Bluetooth transfer profile (OPP) in their phones." (source: http://www.polaroid.com/pogo/us/comp.html)
So I would encourage all to write Apple an email showing that we'd love to use the PoGo with the iPhone (such as almost all other cellphone users can do).
