The Asian Age
Hewlett-Packard, the world’s largest maker of printers, on Thursday said that its India R&D team has developed a Web-based solution that will enable users to print documents using a smart phone. The print application bundled with phone will allow users to print any document by giving command to the nearest printer, by automatically locating it, anywhere using a BlackBerry phone. “ There is an unarticulated need for this service.

Hewlett-Packard has launched SkyRoom technology, which allows real-time discussions on business plans and high-end 3D visuals, without the fear of data loss.
With companies and businesses cutting down on travel, SkyRoom becomes relevant. It allows a user to share his desktop with others in the conference for visualisation, while running graphic-intensive applications.
According to Dennis Mark, Vice-President and General Manager (Asia-Pacific and
He showcased the SkyRoom technology on a modular workstation (high-end computer). “We can take out the power module, hard disk, without having to open the CPU box. It also ensures that the workstation is cool and makes no sound,” he added.
Though there are other technologies offering the conferencing facility, most are one-to-one and do not offer transfer of high-end data.
HP also introduced a slew of products including the designer Mini 110 series notebooks, and all-in-one desktop computers. “We are going to offer affordable luxury PCs with the range of consumers PCs,” he said.
Unveiling the products, See Chin Teik, Senior Vice-President (Personal Systems group of HP), said: “It is not just convergence of devices, with users looking for multi-functional and more capabilities.”
Stacy Wolff, Director (Notebook design), HP, said the economic transformation was shifting curves in the way people bought things. Explaining the rationale behind launching the designer notebook series, he said the one-kg Mini 110 series notebooks (laptops), priced at $299, offer users various designs and colours.
The company also launched an all-in-one PC, which is connected by just one cable. All the hardware, including DVD players, is included in the three-inch monitor of HP Pavilion MS200 AIO Desktop PC.
The products, however, would be released for sale later this year. The mini notebook 110 series would be ready for sale in July 2009, while SkyRoom technology is slated for launch towards the year-end. The company, however, is not decided whether to share SkyRoom technology with other computer manufacturers or keep it for the exclusive use.
