Polaroid GL10

Portable printers just got stylish. Straight from Lady Gaga’s Polaroid Grey Label is the GL10, a compact printer that you should, in theory, want to carry around with you.

It prints wirelessly from your smartphone or camera over Bluetooth, or you can use a USB cable if yur device is lacking the necessary technology, giving you perfect 4x3in prints in under a minute. You can even hook it up to your PC or Mac.

It doesn’t need ink refills – the special Zink (Zero Ink) paper uses thermal technology to produce picture perfect prints that are (allegedly) smudge proof, water resistant and tear proof. The GL10 even has a rechargeable battery, making it truly portable.

MountMe Freedom iPad mount

$49.99

Some iPad mounts are convenient and some are mind-boggling.

The Freedom II falls into the latter category. It allows you to put your iPad almost anywhere – wall, window, the car headrest – turning your tablet into the ultimate “do anything” media device.

The quick release bracket can be transformed easily. Attach it via a strap to a car headrest. You can also fix it to a window or other hard surface with suction cups, or fix your iPad permanently with included heavy duty screws.

And the quick release bracket means you can remove the tablet from wherever you have fixed it and make it mobile again.

The Freedom is aimed at original iPad users, while Freedom II is for the iPad II adopters.
