Hey gang; it's time for another week in review. HP debuted its slick web-connected printer service on Monday. The service will let you do some cool things like print from your smartphone by emailing a document to the printer. Ahead of WWDC early Monday, AT&T started to tweak the upgrade eligibility for many iPhone 3GS owners. This was no surprise given that we knew Steve was going to be pulling that new iPhone out of his pocket a few hours later that day. Read The Full Story

Google have been fleshing out their upcoming Cloud Print service, which is now apparently being tested internally. Similar to what we saw with HP's ePrint system yesterday, Google Cloud Print allows users to send print jobs from their smartphone to any compatible networked printer; in fact, Google took to the stage with HP to demo the interaction of the two systems, and confirm that any of HP ePrint printers announced will also be fully compatible with Google Cloud Print.

HP printers to get print-by-email feature

Shane McGlaun, Jun 7th 2010 Discuss [1]

When HP purchased WebOS, I figured at best we would see the OS on things like netbooks, tablets, and new smartphones. When HP started to mention that webOS would find its way onto other devices like printers, I wondered what the point was. WebOS on a printer alone was of little value in my mind, but the New York Times is talking about a new feature for printers that would be very useful. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Apr 30th 2010 Discuss [0]

If HP's inkjets were as interesting as this DIY Facade Printer, the company wouldn't have had to buy Palm just to get some press coverage. The handiwork of German product designers and engineers Martin Fussenegger, Michael Haas and Julian Adenauer, the inkjet-with-attitude is capable of precisely firing individual colored dots from up to 20 feet away, creating huge - and surprisingly accurate - murals on whatever wall is unlucky enough to get in the way.

Google Cloud Print lets Chrome OS get physical

Chris Davies, Apr 16th 2010 Discuss [0]

Cloud printing sounds like another way of asking someone to marry you by getting a pilot to write your proposal in the sky, but it's actually the latest aspect of Google's upcoming Chrome OS platform. Answering the question of how the netbook/tablet platform would handle printing from cloud-based apps, Google Cloud Print basically acts as an intermediary for a network-connected printer.

Over at Core77 they've an undeniable soft-spot for 3D Printers - rapid prototyping hardware that can churn out a tangible, physical design from a CAD file or two - and so Objet Geometries new model is probably driving them into a frothing foam of glee. The Connex RP machine is capable of manipulating two materials simultaneously: the Halo-esque soldier model below, and the complex suspension system were both assembled by the same machine in a single pass.

Remember the Sony S-Frame DPP-F700 combination digital photo frame and printer? Announced late last month over in Singapore, the 7-inch WVGA display has just seen its official US launch, and it's expected to arrive in stores in January for around $200. As well as displaying images on-screen - loaded either via USB or on a memory card, but frustratingly not wirelessly - the DPP-F700 can spit out 4 x 6-inch glossy prints for your mother-in-law to take away.
