Polaroid plans print renewal for digital

LAS VEGAS—Once celebrated for cameras that made their own prints, Polaroid Corp. plans to update the concept this year by selling a portable printer for images on cell phones and digital cameras.

The instant print feature of those cameras never really caught on. Those type of instant prints tended to fade after a few years when the chemicals start to deteriorate. Polaroid also never got into the digital camera craze, so their market share in the photo industry is minimal now.

Polaroid was all the rage for quite a few years. I'm not sure what you meant by "caught on." They were wayyy ahead of their time. BTW, I once read where over 50% of their business was accounted for by "bedroom use." I'm sure that's probably true! LOL.
