Okay, I would have originally given this product a 3-star rating, but felt I had to give it the full 5 stars to offset some of the ... reviews from the customers.... Another thing, some other customer from Canada wrote that to use this product, you would need 12 things for this scanner to work -but doesn't even mention what these 12 things are.

I can mention the obvious ones:

1. An I-Zone Camera (in the color of your choice)

2. Some I-Zone pictures (plain or sticky, again your choice) that you want to scan

3. A working computer with Win9x/NT/2000/ME, CD/DVD drive and the usual range of ports

4. This Webster Scanner, which comes with serial cable, CD (with lots of good image-related software) and 4 AAA batteries

That's it. What else do you need???

Product Review:

The scanner is pretty easy to use. Just hold the scanner over the picture, press the button, and voila! The picture is scanned and an image of it is stored (up to 20 images) in the scanner to be exported to your computer or to be uploaded to the internet via included serial cable at a later time.

The images produced are small -about 250x350 pixels. The quality of the images aren't of the best commercial quality, but they're good enough for their intended use -to be able to make copies of your i-zone pictures to share with everybody else. You can also scan small areas of other things such as text, postage stamps (*shrug* Why not?), other photos, magazines, etc. Nothing to stop you from doing this after all.

The CD comes with software and drivers you need to import pictures from your Webster scanner, plus some fun quality extras to dress them up.

The scanner itself is lightweight, but a bit fragile. It comes with a handy carrying strap, but I wouldn't exactly swing it around carelessly. The opening to the battery compartment can easily pop out and the batteries don't quite fit in snugly. This scanner definitely needs either a protective carrying case and/or improved outer casing. (How about it Polaroid?)

Overall, the Webster scanner is just a fun addition to the I-Zone line of products. While you won't get the best image quality, you no longer have to fight over who gets to keep the picture!

Buy Polaroid i-zone Webster Mini Photographic Scanner Now

I mean the price I payed for mine, $10, where is $75 coming from? Do not buy it for that price!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my little scanner, I do not own the I-zone camera, I had lots of pictures that you could barely make out what was in them, now I scan them and Voila, LOL you can see everthing, I have my own website and every picture on there is from the webster. I would more likely recommend this scanner as a gift for a child, but for someone who does not have a scanner the webster is great too. NOT FOR $75 THOUGH, BUY A REAL SCANNER FOR THAT PRICE.

I wasn't expecting much out of this, but I have to say that I was pretty impressed. Of course this is made for people who have an i-zone camera! You could even scan little parts of other full sized pictures that you might have. I had a fun time uploading the pictures to the web to share with family and friends. I'm glad I put this item on my wishlist!

Want Polaroid i-zone Webster Mini Photographic Scanner Discount?

(...) However, for what I paid and what it does, you can't beat it. You really *don't* need an i-zone camera to have fun with this. I actually find myself throwing it in my coat pocket as I head out for lunch downtown to document the trip, and come back with some great textures, fonts, eyeballs, artsy-fartsy blurred out photos, etc. The photos tend to come out a little on the dark side, but a little photoshop help cleans them right up. Just plain fun. The only real downer is no mac support, but i'll live with that for now. I want to take one apart and play with the focus range, maybe build a lens for it...

I REALLY DID LOVE MY WEBSTER WHILE IT WORKED. IT WAS A GREAT WAY FOR ME TO GET A COPY OF PHOTOS THAT I WOULD TAKE AND GIVE AWAY. IT WAS SO QUICK AND EASY. I HAVEN'T HAD IT VERY LONG BUT NOW I GUESS A LIGHT BURNT OUT. HALF OF THE PHOTOS I SCANNED WERE FINE BUT THE LAST HALF CAME OUT EXTREMELY DARK. MORE THAN USUAL. I DON'T KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO CHANGE THE LIGHTS BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK EASY.

THIS REALLY IS A NEAT DEVICE TO USE WITH YOUR IZONE CAMERA. THE PROGRAM IS EASY TO INSTALL ON YOUR COMPUTER AND THEN YOU PLUG THE SCANNER IN. IT IS LIGHTWEIGHT AND SMALL SO YOU CAN TAKE THE SCANNER ANYWHERE WITH YOU AND YOUR IZONE. YOU MUST USE BATTERIES AND BE SURE TO BRING SPARE SINCE IT [takes] THE LIFE OUT OF THEM. BUT DON'T CHANGE THE BATTERIES WHILE YOU HAVE PHOTOS SAVED ON IT OR THEY WILL BE LOST. IT HOLDS 20 PHOTOS SO YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THEM ONTO YOUR COMPUTER TO PUT MORE. I FOUND THE PROGRAM VERY EASY TO USE AND FUN. YOU CAN DOCREATIVE THINGS TO THE PHOTOS ONCE THEY ARE ON THE COMPUTER AND INTO THE PROGRAM.
