Full FeedHP introduces HP Photosmart Premium printer with an app store
In this day and age, many households have broadband connections to the web which enables the user to perform many tasks. Today, HP announced a new printer that takes advantage of the average house being connected to the Internet.
Interestingly enough, HP plans to launch their own app store, so to speak, which allows users to download these apps which have the ability to perform different tasks. For example, some of the preloaded apps lets you navigate to a web page, then make it printer friendly in order to print out a page or two. All these apps can be loaded from the 4.33-inch touch screen on the printer itself.
Partners for the HP Apps Studio include USA Today, DreamWorks Animation, Google, Fandango, Coupons.com, Nickelodeon, Web Sudoku, and Weathernews. Keep in mind, these apps are not limited to printing apps. With these apps, users have the ability to take advantage of the popular services each of these companies provide. For example, “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.”
If you like taking pictures and uploading it to the web, then you will be pleased to know that the printer comes with a direct connection to Snapfish, allowing you to upload pictures and print immediately. HP encourages users to become developers, as you would have the ability to create, customize, and share apps later this year. All the companies listed above will have their apps for free upon release of the printer. Otherwise, it is your average inkjet printer that performs just like any printer should. What makes this a cut above the rest is the HP Apps Studio.
Expect the Energy star efficient HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web to begin shipping in the Fall for a retail price of $399.
