I'm guessing that most readers of PT have reached the brand loyalty level of consumerism, while most readers of Twist haven't. At least, not for photographic products. As for Polaroid, their latest products with the stamp-sized instant photoagraphy machines (I hesitate to call them cameras ;) is an interesting, but smart, move. I wonder when we'll see specialized scanners with very limited resolution (perhaps 300x300 pixels) for instantly scanning those instant pictures into your colourful iMac and placement on a webpage...?
