RMPT promises to put an inkjet printer in the palm of your hand. In development by PrintDreams of Sweden, their PrintBrush is the size of a mobile phone, and it prints onto any print media as you move it around on the surface. It gets its input via Bluetooth, so you can pass it data from a PDA or mobile phone. You just have to wait until 2005 for the first production model.
The PrintBrush would be mighty handy for quickly printing out addresses and phone numbers, though, or even notes to pass to players in a pen-and-paper roleplaying game. My current hardcopy printing solution involves pulling the cap off my stylus and writing with its ballpoint pen, a decidedly analog process that’s slow and prone to error (and losing the stylus cap; that thing is tiny).
I’m interested in a slightly larger model that works at a distance (say, a foot or so) on rough surfaces. High-resolution graffiti, anyone?
