With Bluetooth file sharing being allowed in iOS6 now, is it possible to connect a Polaroid POGO printer to the iPhone and iPad now?

I haven't heard anything about BT file sharing being enabled on iOS 6. However, the best source for information on Polaroid products would probably be Polaroid.

Best of luck.

I would love an answer to this question too. As suggested in the first answer, Polaroid is *not* the best source for this problem. Polaroid is notoriously vague about this iOS issue and bluetooth. Apple needs to step-up and answer as the problem is Apple's. The Polaroid/Pogo works just fine with all other cameras and phones.

I know that there is a new bluetooth sharing feature enabled on iOS6

Sorry. That is NOT true. No idea where you got the idea that it was.

OK then, there is the answer! No -- iOS 6 does nothing to help connectivity with Pogo Printer. I'm guessing that rumors of changes to Bluetooth in iOS 6 are only the result of the change in location of the on/off for bluetooth in iOS 6 -- that's all. Thanks, KiltedTim, for clarifying.

But wait! I just found this.... http://http://www.pcworld.com/article/260723/apples_ios_6_what_we_know.html

Including a copy/paste from the above link right here:

Bluetooth File-Sharing

Also new in the latest iOS 6 beta is a function for Bluetooth sharing support for apps, according to a screenshot posted by 9to5 Mac.

Currently, iOS 5 allows you to share contacts with a car kit, send audio to a stereo, use audio/video remote controls, participate in multiplayer gaming, and establish connections to Bluetooth keyboards.

In iOS 6, however, apps may be able to request Bluetooth sharing functionality to swap photos, calendar dates, reminders, and contacts. The reported new sharing capability would be controlled in a new section of the Settings app labeled “Privacy.” [ end quote]

Now I'd love to know if someone who actually owns the Pogo Printer and iOS 6 can get it to work. I would immediately buy the printer which I have wanted all along except that I knew it wouldn't work with my iDevices.

That article is largely conjecture about the iOS 6 beta. Note the use of the words "may", "reported" and "would be". It's not clear that the feature even existed in the beta. And, even if it did, that wouldn't necessarily mean that it was in the final release.

Individual apps have the ability to share data via bluetooth. They always have. That functionality does NOT exist in any of the built in apps, including the printing functions of iOS at this time. The setting you refer to is in the final release of iOS. It is there so that you can explicitly restrict apps from making data available via bluetooth peer to peer connections.
