Hi

My friend is looking into buying a pogo printer, she knows it isnt compatiable with the iphone becuase hasnt got bluetooth. She has a lead which connects the iphone to the copmputer via usb and wanted to know if she could use this lead to connect to the printer from the iphone and could she print pictures that way.

Or doesnt it work with the iphone at all

I may be wrong but if my HTC phone is anything like the I phone its because although it has bluetooth capabilities it cant export images that way. I just use mine with my camera as my phone photo quality is rubbish anyway

The iphone only supports the bluetooth protocol for handsfree and headset telephone devices. It will not connect to a laptop, other phones, etc :(

Yep that's right Emma. You can't bluetooth songs or pics to other devices. The bluetooth is only to enable a hands free device or headset. :)

If I download the pictures off my iPhone to the computer can I print them on the Pogo from there.

The bluetooth on the iPhone is maddening isn't it :angry: about as much use as a chocolate teapot!!! :mad:
