Instagram fans await Polaroid Socialmatic Camera in 2014

Instagram fans who want more instant gratification from the photo sharing service and social network are getting some help from Polaroid. In the first quarter of 2014, you’ll be able to buy a Polaroid-branded instant digital camera that will let you shoot photos, apply Instagram filters, share them on Facebook and Instagram, and print your snapshot on Polaroid-style paper. The idea makes sense considering that both Polaroid and Instagram appeal to people because of their hipster vibes. It can’t be denied -- tons of people get a kick out of Instagram. In fact, the service says more than 100 million people use it every month. Unless you’re a photography purist, Instagram is fun to use if you’re creatively-inclined, and transforms ordinary photos into retro-style artistic creations that you can share with friends and followers in just a few clicks on your mobile device.
