ShakeIt Brings Polaroid Pictures to the iPhone

shakeitQuestion: What’s the difference between a Polaroid picture and an iPhone?

Answer: If you shake the iPhone, it actually does something.

This was one of the Laws of Nature, as immutable as the Snake-Oil Law (aka. the Second Law of Thermodynamics). Until now, that is: Shakeit is an iPhone App from Nick Sayes which combines the slow-developing, whacked-out colors of the Polaroid with the shake-tastic abilities of the iPhone. The result is a photo that actually does develop faster if you “shake it like a Polaroid picture”.

Nick’s application takes photos from the iPhone’s camera (or on the Touch, from the picture library) and turns them into facsimiles of old instant film pictures. The photos slowly fade into view and come in three flavors, replicating famous instant emulsions. The applications is $2, and there’s also an ad-supported lite version with a single Polaroid film-type that outputs at a lower resolution.
