If so, that's really awesome, and I'm no more skeptical. I hope you'll be able to make your goal.
- joshstrange 12y agoI am still skeptical, one sentence on KS about it doesn't really fill me with optimism. The following sentence: > So all the tinkerers and photographers out there can control exposures, hack, and reprogram the SnapJet. Makes me think that those connections (USB/BLE) are just for computer -> SnapJet. Also they don't say anything about it in their video. That's the kind of promise that's easy to edit out after you've got funded. I would be interested in a BLE printer of this size (open their app and select the image and have a share intent to throw any image to the app to print) but the scanner seems gimmicky and like it will result in fingerprints on your pictures or misaligned pictures. EDIT: From FAQ: >What will the optional app do? We are creating iOS and Android apps that will allow you to get the most out of SnapJet's technology. The app will resize your photo and position for a perfect transfer to the instant film inside SnapJet. It will also adjust your screen brightness, communicate with SnapJet's hardware, allow you to add effects, and we might even include some cool hacks for SnapJet like multiple exposure ;) > It's completely free and we'll post the source code for all our hackers. There is no mention of using BT/BLE for Phone -> SnapJet.
- comboy 12y agoWell I do hope you will be able to print photos over bluetooth or at least USB (since android already can work as usb host IIRC?). If it can't, then yes, I'm back to being skeptical.
