Ask any Polaroid fan about their mood swings in the past 12 months, and I bet it’d go something like this: Oh no, Polaroid is doomed. Oh yay, it got bought. Oh no, that fell through. And so on.
Thankfully all looks good again – except for the fact that Lady Gaga has been hired as their creative director. They’ve even got a brand new product being shown off at CES, the PIC-1000. It’ll come in either metallic plastic, or a ’70s wooden throwback, and while pricing and availability hasn’t been announced, it’s enough to get my heart fluttering again.
The new model has a self-timer, flash and even red-eye reduction. And, thanks to the Impossible Project, it’ll work with Polaroid 1000 instant film. Gotta love them apples. [Electricpig]

I’m leaning towards the 70′s wooden throwback
