PrintBrush – Tiny Hand Held Printer Coming Soon

by Jay Garrett on September 17, 2009

PrintBrush_redOoooo…..lookee!

British company PrintDreams reckons it’s ready to break out the world’s smallest printer called the PrintBrush!

The PrintBrush will print out in A4, black and white, at up to 600dpi resolution.

It works by you sweeping the device across the printing surface (generally paper) by hand.

The manual labour of printing does have a plus side though. It means that you’ll be able to print directly onto books, cards, boxes, furniture and everything else that will take print yet is usually seen as being unable to be shoved through a regular printer.

The other plus point is that the PrintBrush is to be sillent….shhhhh…….so sweeping out a few A4’s during your bosses boring speech can be done ninja style.

The lightweight (250g) PrintBrush connects directly to computers and other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or infrared.

Word is that it’ll cost in the region of £120 and PrintDreams reckon the PrintBrush will be available by the end of this year.

ps3slimSony has finally confirmed the new version of the PlayStation 3 – the PS3 Slim, and it’ll go on sale worldwide in the first week of September.

It was unleashed at Sony’s keynote event at the GamesCom gaming conference last night in Germany after appearing for pre-order on a couple of American store sites.

The new console is 32% smaller than the current PS3 as well as being 36% lighter.

The sleek body now sports a matte finish instead of a glossy one. Tasteful :)

Inside is a 120GB hard disk, but all other specifications seem to be the same as the current 80GB model.

I must add that Sony says it has completely redesigned the technology on the inside.

“The internal design architecture of the new PS3 system, from the main semiconductors and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism, has been completely redesigned,” Sony explains, “achieving a much slimmer and lighter body. Furthermore, power consumption is also cut to two-thirds.”

Both the current PS3, and the new PS3 Slim, will get firmware updates on 1 September, bringing the console’s software to version 3.0.

This update will include support for Sony’s Bravia Sync technology, which will allow the PS3 to be controlled with a Bravia TV’s remote control.

Amazon.co.uk has the Sony PlayStation 3 Slim Console (120GB Model) listed for £249.99, with a 4 September release date.

Almost exactly a year ago those teasers over a Modu mentioned their intentions to release a mobile blower that could be inserted into other gadgets (“jackets”) in order to change and personalise its function.
A bit more modular than a Lego Phone!
The wait is now over people!
Central to this cleverness is the Modu phone itself.
The Modu [...]
