The Socialmatic camera was the invention of Italian inventor Antonio De Rosa. The concept was a web-enabled instant camera that uploads photographs to Instagram and prints them out from an on-board printer. This was pinpointed by many as a great idea but something that would never actualy reach the market, however, it seems these dreams may be turned into reality as this week as De Rosa announced a partnership with one C&amp A Licensing LLC, a company that licenses the Polaroid brand.

Samsung promotes product with yet another flash mob...

The Galaxy S IV is unveiled tomorrow and Samsung are using every trick in the book to promote the new device, the latest of which is a flash mob in New York City's Times Square. This very cheesy display saw several men dancing around while clad in bowler hats and black and white suits emblazoned with the number 4 and creating a sign saying "BE READY 4 THE NEXT GALAXY."
