Who wants a real Instagram camera?

Wouldn't it be cool if you had a real digital camera that looked just like the Instagram icon? A new project, the Socialmatic, is just that, and it needs you (mostly your money) to become reality.

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.
