HPâs new Linux enabled emailable printer - questions and answers
,----[ Quote ]
| While Sydney has been cooling its heels
| with some of the coldest June weather on
| record, the temperature has been sizzling
| hot here in Hong Kong, both on the
| thermometer and in discussions over the
| true usefulness of a printer you can email
| to.

The Turing Appliance
,----[ Quote ]
| Oh someone got me started on how âLinuxâ
| (whatever that is) is just an appliance
| operating system, destined for gadgets or
| clouds and never any traction in the area
| of desktop or general computing.
|
| What?
|
| Lets just define that buzzword for a
| second, Appliance: a single function
| machine often involving electricity which
| is simple to operate. An appliance is a
| device which is very easy to measure the
| function and performance. It literally
| applies to one thing. Does it clean
| clothes acceptably? does it keep food cold
| enough to stay fresh but not so cold as to
| turn your milk into a giant ice-lolly?
|
| Multi-function machines are like multiple
| appliances bundled together, it washes, it
| dries and it leaves a minty pine fresh
| scent! Computers on the other hand are
| Turing machines, theyâre mathematically
| speaking NOT appliances, they can run
| anything and do anything and are only
| limited by their hardware.

HPâs new Linux enabled emailable printer - questions and answers
,----[ Quote ]
| HP invited me to its regional launch in
| Hong Kong of its new range of emailable
| printers, ones which naturally work as
| normal over corded USB, wireless Wi-Fi and
| Bluetooth connections, and now over a
| cloud-service enabled email printing
| service that lets you send an email (with
| or without attachments) to your ePrint
| capable HP printer, which then gets
| printed out in anywhere from a few seconds
| to less than a minute.

HP introduces âprinter appsâ
,----[ Quote ]
| Apps can be browsed and installed directly
| from the printers as well as online
| through the cloud-based ePrintCenter hub,
| which is also the mechanism for printing
| documents by emailing them to the printer.

HP: âevery printer we make will have an email addressâ
,----[ Quote ]
| The service works with documents in PDF
| and Microsoft Office formats as well as
| JPEG images. Other file types such as the
| OpenDocument XML format of OpenOffice are
| not currently supported, although HP
| spokesman told APC that âwe have a roadmap
| and over time we will | be expanding the
| types of documents we support.â

Palm still designing new phones, despite HP's doubts,
,----[ Quote ]
| HP wants the operating system, but is mainly
| focused on emerging device formats such as
| web-enabled printers and tablets, is the
| message from within the larger firm. But
| until the deal is finalized, expected in late
| July, Palm insiders say the company is not
| giving up on its key market and is developing
| new devices as well as an OS upgrade.
