In a move that could rock the printing world and set Amazon’s Kindle e-reader on its ear, HP announced on Tuesday an all-in-one printer that can connect directly to the Internet. The device, the HP Photosmart Premium, will let users download content and make purchases from the Internet. Partners for content on delivery include USA Today; Google; and Fandango. HP also announced the HP Apps Studio, from which users will be able to download apps and content on the Photosmart Premium.
Actually for those of you looking for more technical details, it's not java, but rather HTML / JavaScript. We've purposefully stuck to emerging web standards, and as much as I'd love to get into more of the details, the HP lawyers won't let me till later this fall. :-)
