What’s This? An HP Envy… PRINTER?!

By: , 9/20/2010 8:36 pm | 9 comments

Okay now we’ve seen it all. HP has just unveiled a new series of printers, including none other than an Envy 100 model. As you can expect, this printer is unique. According to Slashgear, this baby boasts paper trays that can slide open and closed, much like a CD-ROM drive. Pretty slick. It does all the stuff you’d expect: print, copy, fax, scan… as well as install web-based printing apps. Here’s the kicker: it runs on Android. (Obviously this is one of those projects that were pretty far along by the time HP acquired webOS.)

This news comes on the heels of HP’s Photosmart eStation C510, their first-ever tablet/printer combo which allows you to print remotely using a 7″ Android-powered slate.

The implications of these developments are pretty exciting and not all that far-reaching. For one thing, if that awesome “Envy” moniker can get slapped onto a printer, why not a webOS phone or tablet? Also, imagine that tablet/printer combo using a webOS-powered tablet device that is designed to be much more than just a removable remote printing station.  We’re just thinking with our tiny primitive brains here, but are pretty sure HP has some pretty cool stuff in store for us.

    I doubt HP would put the name "Envy" on a phone unless they were looking to get sued by LG.

      Zoiks! A good point.

    Looks cool. I might of considered getting it if it could print remotely from a WebOS device, and it'd be even more likely if it had webOS on it.

    I want something like it, that will work with my current webos phone, and future webos tablet + windows laptop in my upcoming car. As a student, I would love to have a printer in my car that doesn't need to connect to my device. So I can always print on the go.

    Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
