Hands on With New HP PhotoSmart Premium with TouchSmart Web
Try saying that 10x fast! What else would you call this powerhouse of a printer. HP is going the way of the widgets with is new web-supported LCD touchscreen control panel. It comes bundled with several online apps such as printing Google maps, coloring pages for the kids, your movie tickets through Fandango, etc. If you feel the need to download more apps HP has made that possible with their Apps Studio. Another awesome thing is that HP is making the printers API completely open for the developer community. I’m intrigued as to what kind of apps might come out for this.
Here are a few key features:
- Print, scan, copy and fax from a single, energy-efficient device with 4.33-inch touchscreen for printing directly from variety of Web partners
- Connections include Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) and Ethernet networking, Bluetooth, USB, PictBridge and phone (fax)
