Built around Android. I wonder how this thing will evolve, especially if programmers can modify its code. Could be very interesting.


"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

This is pretty darn cool. Surprisingly innovative for a company like Polaroid that got bought out.

If it's a smart phone with a quality point and shoot camera I'll be impressed.

If on the other hand it's just a camera with android and no phone... I'll pass.

I miss the old Polaroid. The SX-70 is still a sexy little thing, and the current version of the company hasn't even tried to make something elegant like that today.
Whether it be digital or analogue.

Never got into shooting Polaroids, but it's apparently the "in-thing" with the young hipsters!

kinda neat but with CCD sensor I question the high ISO quality, and no phone will not sway any smartphone users...

It is a smartphone, that point is simply missing in many of the write-ups. It can be sold by most providers. So, it is what we are used to, but higher quality optics and higher MP than others, the lens collapses into the body. Very tempting if I hadn't already gotten a Samsung Galaxy S2, which fits my needs very nicely. Proper marketing, will be essential.
