The Impossible Project is reporting that they will be manufacturing instant film under the Polaroid name in 2010.  They will also sell film under their own name, including a black and white instant integral film!Check it out.....http://www.the-impossible-project.com/Very interesting!

Well the effects of Polaroid discontinuing film are becoming obvious.  For large format films, B&H only has Type 52 listed.  Could not find any on Calumet except a Fuji 4x5 film.As for Spectra, have not seen it anywhere except eBay.  Pack films 664, 669, and 690 are still available from B&H, Calumet and 664 is in stock at Freestyle with others on back orderScablab (I can't remember how to link anymore) turned me onto a Polaroid TZ film (Variant of SX-70 at Freestyle).  I promptly bought 3 boxes about a month ago, just checked their site this evening and it appears to be gone.600 film is still widely available.
