Maybe something like the Polaroid SC1630?

This article seems to suggest that. Polaroid’s got the SC1630, and it seems only reasonable other companies will follow. Interesting, though, that these may be consumer electronics companies, rather than camera makers.
Polaroid’s Android camera — and the future of point-and-shoot cameras (and photography)
It was inevitable — a camera running a phone operating system.
Yep, mobile photography is now making its way into the world of typical point-and-shoot cameras. The Polaroid SC1630 “smart camera” is powered by Google’s Android operating system. Which means, of course, you’re going to be able to download photography apps to a “real camera” with a 16-megapixel sensor and an optical zoom.
This is a sign of things to come.
Photographers want photography apps, from Path to Instagram to Hipstamatic (and beyond). And they want them on their DSLRs and point-and-shoot cameras — not just on their phones/cameraphones. It’s clear this is just the beginning of a transformation of cameras, of all types, with sharing capabilities and the chance to edit and manipulate your photos right on your camera.
Which raises the question: Would Apple, perhaps, come out with a camera? If you’ve read the Steve Jobs biography, you know Jobs said he wanted to reinvent photography.
Interesting take on the love of old-time photographic films and processes.
