Instagram"s icon is pretty iconic, as app icons go, but wouldn"t it be awesome if you could get a real camera that looked just like that? Antonio De Rosa thinks so, and he"s asking the masses to help him make his dream a reality.
He"s started a campaign on Indiegogo (sorta like KickStarter) seeking $50,000 to produce a real, working digital camera based on the Instagram icon. Socialmatic, as the camera will be called, will boast a 4:3 touchscreen, interoperability with Instagram"s iPhone and Android App, and even a real Polaroid style printer. Sounds pretty awesome, doesn"t it? The printed pictures even have your nickname, a QR code, and some sticky-note style goo on the back for easy display.
On the downside, it doesn"t look particularly ergonomic:
If you"d like to own such a fine device, you"ve got 47 days left (as of right now) to give De Rosa a hand in raising that $50,000. So far he"s only managed to get $1,215 pledged, but with a little help, amazing things can happen... Oh, and you"ll get a discount on the camera if you pony up a little now.
