Oh man, oh man.  I totally had one of these back in the 80s.  I don’t remember how old I was or what year I received this wonderful gift, but if anything you could probably attribute my long time lust for video games to this thing.  If I recall correctly the screen is actually a paper wrap, or something to that effect that is backlit.  I have no clue how long the game lasted, but I do recall dodging inanimate objects.  The sounds effects were probably the coolest thing, though.

TIP-521 Digital Camera Is The World’s First Camera With A Built-in ZINK Printer

November 7th, 2008 2:31 PM | by Christen da Costa

When we first heard about a Zink printer appearing in a camera, rumor pegged Polaroid as the suspect in question.  Looks like TOMY Company, long time toy manufacture, has beaten them to the punch with the TIP-521 Digital Camera.  The device features a 5 megapixel sensor, 2.48″ LCD, SD/SDHC memory card slot (16MB internal) and 2×3-inch inkless color prints on the spot.

No word on price, but the TIP-521 Digital Camera is due out November 28th in Japan.
