Printstik: Portable Printing for the Business Traveler
As a blogger and entrepreneur I spend a ton of time traveling and the biggest pain in the ass is when its time to check in for a flight. You have nothing to print the damn boarding passes out on. Or how many times to you have confirmations you need a paper copy of?
Printstik hopes to be the business travelers best friend.
Planon, maker of the DocuPen ultra-portable color scanner, has released a highly portable 1″ x 10.75″ x 1.9″printer designed for use with smart phones and other Bluetooth enabled devices. The “Printstik” holds a cartridge roll of 20 pages of paper and can print up to three pages per minute.
Using Bluetooth connectivity or a USB connection, the Printstik works with laptops, smart phones or PDAs and includes a paper cartridge and battery so you can print from any location. Aside from emails and images, the Prinstik could come in handy for printing your boarding pass to avoid queuing at the airport or for a convenient hard-copy of a web page. [...] Printstik is available now for US$299

Well, yes, it’s cool and all, and I’d pay $1 a page or so in a pinch…but I don’t think for me it would be worth carrying around what amounts to a stack of two dozen rulers to do so, This more or less adds back onto my carry-on baggage what the good folks at Apple took off with the MacBook Air.
