Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web Printer

 

HP yesterday introduced Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web printer that claims to be the world’s first web-connected home printer. The printer is aimed at households who are connected 24×7 and would want to consume news, print the maps from Google Maps or buy tickets from Fandango right from their printer.

If the concept is still a mystery to you, the HP printer is preinstalled with different HP apps which can be used from its 4.3-inch touchscreen display. A user can quickly access and print from different services or download new ones from the HP Apps Studio. HP is also planning to share the APIs so that developers can create new apps for the printer.

Regarding the price, it costs $399 which is on the heavier side for an average household but now swap a family with a commercial entity who can put this to a multiple of uses (for instance kiosks), the price seems worth it.
