Recent remarkable achievements in the physics of ultracold Fermi gases attracted a lot of attention and draw fascinating prospects for future studies. One of the most profound results is the creation and Bose-Einstein condensation of weakly bound bosonic molecules of fermionic atoms. I will discuss prospects related to heteronuclear molecules which are supposed to be formed in mixtures of different fermionic atoms. One of the aspects will be their polarization and thus the creation of dipolar Bose gases which are predicted to exhibit novel physics in the regime of quantum degeneracy.
