Google has recently been awarded with a patent for a portable handheld digital camera that can print photos out instantly.
Based on the concept sketches submitted to the US Patent Office, the Google camera would allow users to choose when they wish to print their photos, unlike the original Polariod cameras.
The camera also seem to be able to print a postcard layout on the reverse of the photo, for users to send their holiday photos back home as greeting cards.
While they may have gotten the patent, Quartz has yet to obtain a comment on the patent from Google if they would go ahead to produce the camera.
What do you think of Google’s proposed camera?
