HP Announces Cloud-Based Linux Appliance Revolution

"The printer follows the current HP PC group design in that it is largely black with silver accents. It looks much more modern than the current line, though is still a little boxy compared to Samsung, which leads the class in design. It is a 3-in-1 design, which means it prints, scans and faxes."

"But what sets the HP printer apart is a large iPhone-like display on the front that runs atop a Linux-based platform that connects it to the cloud. Using an HP TouchSmart-like interface, this operating platform is then connected to a variety of software-as-a-service and/or cloud-based applications, which add more functions."
