Polaroid and Storage Appliance Corp. are joining forces to create an external image backup device based on Polaroid’s ClickFree software. The to-be-named plug-and-save device will use a USB port to connect to a PC, search the PC for all images and instantly transfer them to the storage device without the need for software configuration. SAC’s ClickFree Backup currently works the same way, but for entire systems. Expect to see more partnered products - aka “other media verticals” - from Polaroid and SAC down the road. The release date and price have not yet been divulged. I wonder if it’ll be “instantaneous” for those still using Windows 95 and Mac OS 8. If it does find every image on your computer, you might want reconsider your folder of celebrity nip slip images.
