Photosmart

When you think of office printing, it's hard not to think of HP. It's a safe bet that any person or company who has ever owned a printer has probably owned an HP.

Over the course of the last couple of years, HP has sought to really innovate what a printer looks like and the way we use them. Take their latest Photosmart eStation C510a. This baby is a fast color inkjet multi-function device with a unique difference. HP calls this "difference" the Zeen, a removable touchscreen control panel running the Android 2.1 operating system and offering tablet-PC-like functionality, including Web browsing. It even acts as detachable eReader.

No one can argue that tablets are probably the best selling consumer electronics product this year. Marrying a printer with a tablet is an interesting idea to say the least, but if you're willing to spend a little more on your inkjet, you do get a pretty nice little ancillary Android device that allows you to do some limited, but fun functions.

The 7-inch Zeen looks and works great as the C510a control panel. Its color touchscreen is gorgeous, and it accepts "taps" and "swipes" for navigating and performing key printing functions. When the Zeen is undocked, you still are able to control the Photosmart eStation, or you can print from an SD card loaded in the top-mounted slot, as well as print Web pages.Read more

HP had a huge announcement at Internet Week New York (IWNY) today, introducing a new category of web printing solutions that will let you print from any email device to any new HP ePrint printer, from anywhere.

Using one of the new HP ePrint printers, you can send files you want to print from your mobile device, by harnessing the "cloud". Every HP ePrint printer will have a unique email address that allows you to deliver a print in the same way you would send an email message. You can also send documents to print through an HP ePrint mobile app from a smartphone.Read more
