HP Keeps Print Relevant in a Mobile World

HP iPrint Photo—the first free mobile printing application that allows for quick and easy wireless printing of 4x6-inch photos for iPhone and iPod Touch—will now be available for phones using the Symbian and Windows Mobile operating systems. Additionally, HP will offer an enhanced version of the current HP iPrint Photo for iPhone and iPod Touch.

In January, HP introduced the HP iPrint Photo application for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, where one of the biggest challenges for consumers was the ability to print from their mobile phone. The rollout of the application to further devices marks an important change—the ability to print from almost anywhere at any time.

“A recent survey found that 45.6 percent of smart phone owners capture photos once per day or once per week and nearly 70 percent want to print photos taken from their phone,” said Antonio Rodriguez, chief technologist for HP’s IPG Inkjet and Web Solutions Group. “HP looks forward to making this process easier, more convenient and fun for more consumers.”
