Music, movies and photos are what makes our world go round, so today’s iGRIND shouldn’t be a surprise.
We have an electronic instant camera that’s a fork living in a world of spoons, a movie premise you already know and a music app that’s finally coming stateside. Enjoy!
What: Electronic Instant Camera
Made By: Niklas Roy
Available: Not sure exactly, but one day.
GG Certified: Come on, son! It’s an electronic instant camera! Ever since Polaroid went the way of the dodo, we’ve been screaming for an instant print camera that matches our digital liftestyle. This camera answers our digital prayers in an analog way.
Inventor Niklas Roy:
“My ‘Electronic Instant Camera’ is a combination of an analog b/w videocamera and a thermal receipt printer. The device is something in between a Polaroid camera and a digital camera. The camera doesn’t store the pictures on film or digital medium, but prints a photo directly on a roll of cheap receipt paper while it is taking it. As this all happens very slow, people have to stay still for about three minutes until a full portrait photo is taken.”

What: “Angry Birds: The Movie”
Made by: Rovio
What It Does: Kills time, adds new dimension to a confusing life.
Available: In the very, very near future.
GG Certified: When Angry Birds hit the scene a couple of months back, the whole world of phone gaming apps changed. So much so, that the game/app can be found on almost every phone with an decent OS, becoming an economy in and of itself. Recognizing that they have a goldmine on their hands, Rovio is presently in talks with a Marvel Studio exec to bring the game to the big screen. Yeah, the Angry Birds Movie is in the development stages.
Games to movies have been pretty wack ― we’re looking at you Mario Bros and Doom ― but who knows? Maybe this will be a hit? After the break, check out a spoof trailer made by Rooster Teeth Productions!

What: Spotify
What It Does: Sexes up music on your desktop and phone.
Available: Soon
GG Certfied: The Europeans have had Spotify on their desktops and phones for what seems like forever! Finally, the app is making its way stateside and we will finally access those Abba songs we’ve heard our grandparents rave about. Some are speculating that Spotify’s trek to the U.S.is a little too late, but we don’t care: more music for the minions!
