If we're going to use pinyin for the pronunciation then it would be pou1 not po1.

Editor: I disagree with your reasoning on this.
"it is just a shortening of the English post" -- that's a big assumption, and I think it's wrong.
And there is certainly evidence for [po1]. As Yves suggests, there are more people writing ㄆㄛ文 than ㄆㄡ文.

On the other hand, people do say [pou1] in video clips. I found a few where it's PO照片, and they seem to say [pou1] there as well.
