Polaroid today announced that capturing and sharing high-end digital images is now seamless with the Polaroid SC1630, an Android powered smart camera. The Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera features a high definition 16 megapixel camera with built in 3X optical zoom, touch screen display and Wi-Fi, making uploads to social networks as easy as the touch of a button. Merging the optics of a digital still and video camera with the limitless power of the Android platform, the Polaroid SC1630 Smart Camera evolves the process of clicking, editing, uploading and tagging to an instant experience on one device.
I’ve been waiting several years for this to happen. It’s a shame it’s effectively a watered-down point and shoot. A high-end one that could beat the iPhone 4S and compete with the Canon G-series would make some real ripples. Camera manufacturers simply can’t get the software end of stuff in line and should turn that over to a mobile OS.

That’s a question you hear a lot. “Was it worth it?” Not certain what either “it” refers to, but generally we’re saying, “was the destination worth the journey? Was the effort worth the reward?” The thing about effort is that effort is its own reward if you allow it to be. So the answer can always be “yes” if you let it.
I think it’s so foolish for people to want to be happy. Happy is so momentary—you’re happy for an instant and then you start thinking again. Interest is the most important thing in life; happiness is temporary, but interest is continuous.
My sentiments exactly. A perfectly good waste of part of your plate (and your stomach) that could otherwise be dedicated to more delicious side dishes.
