Right now, Instagram is a phenomenon on iPhone but now a new service, Instaprint, is using the Instagram API to turn snaps from the app into physical Polaroid-style photos.

Instaprint uses a modified Polaroid Zink photo printer to spit out photos tagged with a particular hashtag. The company is planning to rent Instaprint boxes to events and will be demoing the service during SXSWi if you happen to be hanging out in Austin Texas.
