HP just introduced the Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web. It’s the first printer to offer straight-on Web access right through its touchscreen.
The 4.33-inch touchscreen sits right on top of its front panel, which displays an array of customizable apps. The direct connection to the Web will let you download and install the apps you want, and print content straight off the Web. HP has initially partnered up with Google, USA Today, Weathernews.com, Fandango, Nickelodeon, Web Sudoku, Coupons.com and Dreamworks. You will also be able to start sharing apps with other through the HP Apps Studio, which will be live by late 2009. The printer also provides access to Snapfish and the HP Creative Studio for direct photo printing as well.
This all-in-one can print, scan, copy and fax, and comes with complete connectivity options – Bluetooth, LAN and Wi-Fi. The Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web should be out by fall with a $399 price tag.
