A Polaroid spokesman, Skip Colcord, said Petters began licensing Polaroid's consumer electronic products like DVD players and plasma television in 2002."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/PC-500.jpg" /><br /><br />Looks like the company that is producing all those Polaroid DVD players and TVs is going to buy the rest of the company. Maybe we'll see some more emphasis on the camera side, but then again do we need a digital instant camera?
