Andrea linked me to an article discussing the future of Polaroid pictures. It seems the company is going to discontinue the look sometime after next year. Here is a direct quote from the article:

Polaroid is saying goodbye to its iconic, white-bordered instant pictures. It expects to stop selling the film next year.

The article on wikipedia also gives some insight on the end of production for “instant film” here:

Group Worldwide) announced it would cease production of all instant film; the company will shut down three factories and lay off 450 workers.[1] Sales of chemical film by all makers have dropped by at least 25% per year in this decade, and the decline is likely to accelerate. Fujifilm is now the only remaining supplier of instant film in the United States.
