HP has unveiled the world’s first web-connected home printer – The HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web. HP Photosmart Premium with Touchsmart Web is an all-in-one printer that is capable of printing images right off the web, using printer’s touchscreen interface.
The HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web has an extra-large 4.33-inch touchscreen and can print, faxes, copies and scans – producing laser-quality text documents and lab-quality photos. It will provide opportunities for both wired and wireless connectivity, enabling users to print from a variety of devices, such as Wi-Fi-enabled PCs, Bluetooth-enabled devices or the Apple iPhone and the Apple iPod touch using HP iPrint Photo.
It is designed for the digital generation and connected households, the HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web features an entirely new web-based printing platform with HP applications. Similar to other Internet-connected devices, these apps, which are viewable on an extra-large, intuitive-to-use TouchSmart panel, allow people to connect instantly with fun, informative and personal content. The feature includes preloaded apps on the printer and also allows users to download new apps via the HP Apps Studio. For example, the Coupons app from Coupons.com will allow printing the coupons directly from the web accessed through this printer. For availability of more applications in the HP App Studio, the company will make its custom API openly available for development of supporting apps in late 2009.
The world’s first HP app partners will be USA TODAY, Google, Fandango, Coupons.com, DreamWorks Animation, Nickelodeon, Web Sudoku and Weather News Inc. Through these apps, people will have free access to customized daily news, maps, coupons, coloring pages, movie tickets, recipes, personal calendars and more – all at the touch of a finger.
This all-in-one printer is price at $399 (Rs. 19,422 approx.) and will be available in the United States from this September.
