Photography giant Polaroid plans to open at least ten new retail stores this year focused on getting people to print and edit the photos saved on their smartphone, or uploaded to social networks such as Facebook, Instagram and Picasa. The first ‘Polaroid Fotobar’ store, which is set to open in Florida next month, will allow in-store customers to wirelessly transmit the images stored on their smartphone or tablet to a bar-top workstation. From here, the photos can be edited to fix red-eye or alter the contrast and brightness. A number of filters will also be available, presumably to help users get that vintage, “analogue feel” if they haven’t done so already using an app such as Snapseed or Instagram. Delete the scoop?

David Karp, the CEO of New York-based Tumblr, revealed some fresh stats about the micro-blogging platform’s growth today. The company is seeing 20 billion pageviews a month, up from 15 billion at the beginning of the year, Karp said at GigaOm’s Roadmap conference in San Francisco today. That’s a growth rate of more than 30 percent per year. Compare that to 13 billion pageviews a month in September of last year, and a little over 4 billion pageviews a month in January 2011. Karp said the site’s rapid growth has made the company think deeply about its identity as it adds more users that may be outside of its original base. “It’s forced us to be very disciplined about who we’re building this for,” Karp said. “There are moments where we want everybody in the world using Tumblr. And then there are moments where we have to pull it down and remember that the reason anybody in the world even cares is because there’s a smaller community here that is making this incredible stuff.” The company, which has raised a whopping $125 million in venture capital to date, is monetizing just a small piece of that network. They sell advertising against roughly 120 million impressions a day. Delete the scoop?

I was a bit dismayed to read in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal about Google’s delaying (preventing?) Acer from launching a phone in China using an operating system that competes with Google’s Android. The item was buried beneath the massive coverage of Apple’s iPhone 5 launch and might have gone unnoticed. But it caught my attention. Delete the scoop?

If you’ve ever flown, you’ll be more than a little familiar with the take-off and landing procedures, which include switching off all personal electronic devices (PEDs), a source of frustration among many nervous flyers who would rather listen to some calming tunes on their music player than the roar of the engines as they hurtle down the runway in an aluminum tube laden with highly inflammable fuel.

Before you even take the Nokia Lumia 920 out of the box you can tell it’s a standout device. The first Windows Phone 8 handset to hit the market, the smartphone has a distinctive look that extends past the characteristic design of the Windows Phone operating system. The successor to the Lumia 900 released earlier this year, the 920 represents Nokia’s third stab at Windows Phone. With the 900 getting rave reviews but lukewarm sales earlier this year, both Microsoft and Nokia have a lot to lose with the Lumia 920, as well as a lot to gain. Does Nokia have a winner on its hands, or should Windows Phone shoppers steer more towards HTC’s 8X or Samsung’s ATIV S? We spent a little over a week with the Lumia 920 to find out Delete the scoop?

Two years after its iOS-only launch, five months after designer Cole Reinke leaked an image of Instagram’s efforts to bridge mobile and web, and one week after the company hit its most photographed event ever, Instagram is finally bulked up its web presence. Citing user demand as the motivation, the nine person team behind Instagram has built a simplified web interface for User Profiles, viewable at http://www.instagram.com/alexia (or whatever your username is). The web functionality should roll out to all 100m registered users by the end of this week. “This allows you to have a single destination to point people at to see all your beautiful photos,” Instagram founder Kevin Systrom told me over the phone earlier today, “It’s hard to have a service like this without seeing anything online, and we didn’t want to limit Instagram behind a log-in.” The web profile functionality is still extremely stripped down, You can Like and Comment on other users photos as in the past, in addition to being able to browse photos, which is what the Instagram team wanted to focus on with this launch. You can also change your name, bio and profile photo via the web, but not the random assortment of photos in your Facebook Timeline-esque header. Photos beneath the header are sorted chronologically. While Systrom wouldn’t reveal other future Web functionality, he did hint at more stuff in the works, “It’s not the last thing you’re seeing from us on the web.” Delete the scoop?
