Hope for the Istamatic

For those of you who have mourned the passing of the Polaroid Istamatic and all the happy goodness it inspired, I've discovered that Instamatic-compatible film is on the horizon.
Tech Digest reports "Hold onto your old Polaroid camera: film's coming back" (January 2009)
The Telegraph reports "Polaroid cameras to be produced once again" (October 2009)
Technology Live reports "CES: Polaroid film cameras come back" (January 2010)

But, the roll out has been delayed a bit:
Boston Herald reports "Instant film for Polaroids delayed" (February 2010)

And for those of you who can't wait for them to get that film made, here's a link which gives instructions for transforming your digital images into Polaroids using Photoshop, so that you can create images like this:
