HP touch-screen camera series: Appeals to simplicity lovers
Okay, HP may not be on your list of the most sought-after tech gurus, but in my opinion, it’s definitely re-inventive and a true blue competitor. What I especially love about the company, is their ability to make technology feel unlike rocket science, which many companies like Sony and Acer manage to do with utmost ease! Now of course, it’s not the first one to have introduced touch-screen technology in digital cameras, what with Sony and Toshiba having done that long ago, but the cool thing is that it’s managed to look behind the intricacies and bring a series of cameras that have bigger displays (something I consider a must-have) and are guaranteed compatibility with Windows Vista (remember the Microsoft Newbie that has a great photo-storer software?). Sure, an Olympus or Canon might beat it sore when it comes to market-share (at least of the digicam market), but HP is sure to give them a run for their money! Read more
HP lays out new photo printer line
Matching its camera releases, HP on Thursday expanded its Photosmart printers with two photo-oriented models and a full all-in-one unit. The D7260 and D7460 draw on six inks to print a 4-inch by 6-inch photo at full quality as quickly as 10 seconds, HP estimates. Standard images can also print at a rate of 34 pages per minute in black and white and only slightly slower at 33 pages per minute in color. Each also has a 3.5-inch touchscreen for basic PC-free image editing and a multi-format card reader for loading photos directly from a camera. The D7260 ships in August for $149; the premium D7460 adds Ethernet and wireless networking and launches at the same time for $179. Continue at Electronista.com …
