The Polaroid is bundled with SilverFast Ai and HDR. A forthcoming version of
SilverFast will include a proprietary form of dust and scratch removal along
with a few features that emulate other features of the ICE triplet. The new
version was apparently demoed at CeBIT in Germany a couple of weeks back,
but other than the above I can say no more. I don't think they have any
details on their web site yet, but you can check at

I wouldn't worry to much about age.
