HP introduces �printer apps�

By

“Printers are the latest devices to sprout apps and an app
store, with HP following Lexmark’s lead in launching a series of
printers which run apps on their colour touchscreens.

“The printers pack a pared-down embedded Linux kernel which acts
as a platform for apps, for which HP will release an SDK and an
‘open API’.

“Apps can be browsed and installed directly from the printers as
well as online through the cloud-based ePrintCenter hub, which is
also the mechanism for printing documents by emailing them to the
printer.

“HP expects to offer a mix of free and ‘premium’ paid-for apps
and will take a 30% revenue cut from the later.”
