HP Receives Trademark For Name PalmPad

Hewlett Packard has received trademark rights to the name PalmPad, igniting rumours the company will soon release an iPad competitor.

HP has not released specific details about the trademark. However according to the application form the PalmPad name can be applied to: ‘Computers, computer hardware, computer software, computer peripherals, portable computers, handheld and mobile computers, PDAs, electronic notepads, mobile digital electronic devices.’

This easily encompasses a tablet.

Rumours about an HP tablet have been circulating for years. For example:

Earlier this year Hewlett Packard began collaborating with Microsoft to build the HP Slate. This project however has been scrapped.
HP recently bought smartphone developer Palm for $1.2bn. Palm’s WebOS operating system in particular enables HP to release countless mobile devices – including web enabled printers.

Hence given the new trademark the release of an HP tablet looks increasingly likely

Print Directly From Your iPad and iPhone with Apple AirPrint

If not being able to print documents and images from the iPad is stopping you from getting one, Apple has just announced a wireless printing feature for the tablet, iPhone and iPod Touch.

Called AirPrint, the feature will automatically find printers on local networks and can print text, photos and graphics wirelessly over WiFi; and “no setup, no configuration, no printer drivers and no software” is needed, according to Apple senior vice president of worldwide marketing Philip Schiller.

“iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users can simply tap to print their documents or photos,” Schiller said in a statement.

Epson’s New iApp Enhances Mobile Printing

Epson America and Thinxtream technologies today announced a new mobile printing application—PrintJinni for Epson—that allows Apple iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users to print Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, and JPEG files from an e-mail account to any WiFi-enabled Epson MFP.

According to Epson, PrintJinni lets users download, display, preview, and print e-mail attachments that maintain accurate formatting. The app is considerably more feature-rich than the basic Epson iPrint app that the company launched in late 2009.

PrintJinni’s features include support for printing of Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents (Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007), as well as JPEG and PDF files from e-mail attachments; discovery of supported Epson printers and all-in-ones over the Wi-Fi network; and simple set-up and e-mail attachment support for Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, Apple MobileMe, AOL, and other IMAP-based email accounts. PrintJinni prints over Wi-Fi without the need for an intermediate PC, additional software or printer drivers; delivers secure encrypted communication for mobile printing; receives and prints iWorks documents from the iPad; and includes a free upgrade to iPad-native printing support

iOS 4.2 Brings Printing to iPad

Apple mentioned iOS 4.2 today for the iPad. One of the new features that has been requested a fair bit is printing. iOS 4.2 brings printing to the iPad. The new operating system is due to be launched in November.

To print you open up a program like Pages, click the menu at the top and the option to print will be available. When you click print you then can select which printer you want to send the job to along with how many copies you want printing.

Down in the multitasking dock is an icon that shows how many print jobs you have pending. When clicked on, a window slides up where you can look at the various print jobs pending. At this point you can cancel print jobs if needed.

As for how it prints, it wasn’t made too clear in the presentation although when selecting a printer, two wireless printers and a MacBook Pro printer was spotted, so we guess it prints over WiFi direct to a wireless printer, or direct to a laptop/computer connected up to a printer. Hopefully documents can print without docking the iPad.
