"  When we usually discuss printers, truth be told, the conversation can become a bit dull. Lingo flies around about DPI (Dots Per Inch), print speed, and the common cost per page. Printers have basically been an accessory to the office space, relying on computer access, but that all is about to change. HP has taken the popular and very successful concept of apps, like what you find on an iPhone, and dropped them into their newest printer. The HP Photosmart Premium with TouchSmart Web, the first web-connected printer, gives users simple access to popular and personal online content through the large touch panel on the front. Just by sweeping your finger across the screen, you will be able to browse and launch popular web destinations in specially designed programs where you can then print content in an easy-to-read format. The best part - you don&amp;#039;t even have to turn on your computer.  HP&amp;#039;s initial partnerships include the likes of USA TODAY, Google, Fandango, Coupons.com, DreamWorks Animation, Nickelodeon, Web Sudoku and Weathernews Inc. The partners have developed easy to use apps, allowing access to fun and informative content from the printer. Imagine going to the printer, watching the trailer to the new Dreamworks movie, accessing Fandango to find local playing time, and printing the tickets right then and there. Not sure how to get to the theater? You can pull up Google Maps on the screen, enter the destination, and have a map of the area print as well.  The combinations are nearly endless, and the printer allows users to download new apps as they become available. Adding to the mix, in late 2009 users will be able to create and share their own apps to customize their printers through the HP Apps Studio (think iTunes App Store for your printer). Most likely my first use would be using Web Sudoku to print out a quick puzzle for my bus ride to work. The printer is expected to available this fall for around $399.
