February 11, 2008

According to reports, Polaroid is set to no longer make instant film for those instant cameras which print pictures as soon as you atke them.  The instant film era will come to an end in 2009Boston (dbTechno) - According to reports, Polaroid is set to no longer make instant film for those instant cameras which print pictures as soon as you take them. The instant film era will come to an end in 2009.

Polaroid introduced the instant camera in 1948 in the U.S., but some 60 years later, it is now completely out of date and obsolete. One year ago they stopped making the cameras, and now they are no longer making the film.

Polaroid has stated that they have decided to shut down their factories in Massachusetts, Mexico, and the Netherlands and no longer produce the instant film.

Instead they will focus on things such as protable printers for mobile phone pictures, as well as digital cameras, DVD players, televisions, and other products.

With the age of digital cameras and memory cards which can hold thousands of pictures, there seems that there was really no need for the instant film anymore, and Polaroid has acknowledged that.
