2x3? Man, I don't think I would really ever want to print that small of a photo - and not at the price for that printer. I can have 4x6s in an hour for $.15 each, I couldn't ever justify that printer.

I would guess their market is very much like that for other Zink-based products (like the new Polaroid printer/camera mentioned above): teenagers who like the novelty of it.
