Isn't that what Polaroid does? Or used to do? I heard somewhere that the reason you only see Polaroid instant-develop picture cameras is because they put out a product, then by the time any competition comes up with a copy or competitor, Polaroid puts out the next generation. It seems like a good plan, but eventually technology can't keep up with the innovation requirements and that tidal wave of competition behind you catches up and you get washed away.
