Polaroid Socialmatic camera

Remember the days when Polaroid ruled the instant photograph market? Those days are long gone and the once-great company has suffered through the agony of restructuring, bankruptcy and trying to rebuild. It's been a bit problematic in the new social, must-share-everything world, but the company is hoping that the Socialmatic camera, which combines new and old technology, will help bridge that gap.

Based on Android, the camera will allow you to snap and share photos at the touch of a button, but also has a built in printer so you can share the photos in the real world too.
