Wired.com had a quick interview with Christopher Bonanos, the author of a new book Instant: The Story of Polaroid. I thought the comparisons to Instagram were interesting... may have to pick this book up.

I read an article about Edwin Land a while ago, the similarities to Apple and Steve Jobs are remarkable. One of Jobs' favorite quotes, that 'Apple products are at the crossroad of art and technology', is almost a word-for-word repeat of one of Land's favorite quotes about Polaroid products (I think Land used 'science' instead of 'technology').
