Get to Know HP’s Expanded iPrint Photo App
When Hewlett Packard launched its iPrint photo app last January 2009, the wireless printing compatibility was opened only to Apple iPod and iPhone users. The good thing about this innovation is that it solved the problem of users when it comes to printing wirelessly from their mobile phones. But despite this very nice idea on iPrint photo application, HP felt that it was better to expand the photo app by taking it a notch higher.
Now, HP is offering an expanded version of the iPrint photo app. From being a trusted wireless printing partner for Apple iPhone and iPod, it is now capable of offering printing options for other mobile phone users. Phones using either that of the Windows Mobile – or WinMo – and Symbian operating systems will start to benefit from wireless printing from a mobile phone to a compatible HP printer.
The basis for expanding HP iPrint photo app
The expansion of the HP iPrint photo app was based on a recent survey on smart phone users. The survey results showed that there are around 46% smart phone users who take photos from their respective phones once a day or at least once a week. Out of this ratio, 70% have the desire to print the images captured by their mobile phones.
These results were actually seen by HP’s chief technologist Antonio Rodriguez. It became the basis for including WinMo and Symbian system operated phones in the list of iPrint photo app for HP.
What to expect with the expanded HP iPrint photo application
Time savings and convenience are two of the things you should expect with the expansion of the HP iPrint photo application. In short, people will enjoy the benefit of printing the photos captured in their phones wherever they are, whenever they want to. Apart from these guarantees, here are other things in store for you in expanded photo app:
1. Photo navigation enhancement for WinMo and Symbian operated phones. This opens opportunities for LG Incite, Motorola Aura and HP iPAQ Data Messenger users to download their respective HP iPrint photo app from a corresponding app store. Printing photos from phones is now made possible by Nokia’s Ovi Store and Windows Marketplace.
2. Enhancements were also made for loyal iPod and iPhone users. Aside from ensuring that the WinMo and Symbian operated phones will get their own share of wireless printing experiences, HP iPrint photo app also added new versions for Apple gadget users. The photo application is already being supported by various Photo Paper types as well as different sizes for photo printing.
While the HP iPrint photo application was enhanced, there is one thing that remains to be the same as the application launched in January 2009. That is the fact that the software may be downloaded for free. This downloadable software application, commonly known as a widget to smart phones, makes wireless printing even easier.
