A new application called Print n Share allows users of the iPhone or iPod Touch to print to any printer on their network straight from their hand held device. Users will also be able to share files via such services as Box.net, MyDisk.se or MobileMe through the WePrint server application. The app is part of a system and the server WePrint application is installed on a Mac or Windows computer to allow for the transfer and printing of files.
Using the app, customers can print e-mails, files, web pages, images, contacts and directly from their camera. Services such as Google’s Gmail can be configured to print directly through the system to allow for easier records keeping of mobile communications. Printing directly to labels is as easy as the other functions and the ability to print e-mail attachments on the fly also comes stock. Also, the ability to print contacts lets iPhone and iPod Touch users create lists or labels directly from the information stored on their mobile devices. The ability to store files remotely and move them between the smart phones and personal computers adds to the app’s ability to transform the mobile device into an extension of and expansion for a consumer’s already created computer network.
