Snapfish tries to make photo upload a snap

Edvarcl Heng | Oct 19, 2007

We can't help the pun, but it's really finger-snapping easy.

The Singaporean flavor of the US photo sharing/printing site has announced an upload service that allows the user to email photos into Snapfish without interfacing directly with the Website. Sounds cool. But it isn't worth a thumbs-up for freshness. The megalith photo-sharing site, Flickr, had an email upload tool in hand before this.

Nikon's "my Picturetown", a Wi-Fi camera-to-Website photo upload service, goes one better by allowing the synchronization of a user's "my Picturetown" contents with a pre-selected Flickr account. That's worth a few claps.

Snapfish, now here's the deal. Give me something really innovative to write about. Like enabling printing orders to be sent along with the email upload and I will promise you a standing ovation.

Cheers,
Hopeful reviewer

Network your USB printer

Darius Chang | Oct 18, 2007

At the HP SmartOffice launch in Vietnam today, HP showcased its latest USB network print adapter alongside the new range of office laser printers.

Barely the size of a four-port USB hub, the little black box allows your to hook up your USB printer to a router, thereby allowing the peripheral to be shared between different PCs without having to exchange plugs. Though network printing adapters have been in the market for a long time, HP's offering is possibly one of the more affordable options around. It will retail for US$69 when it becomes available in Asia next month. This device works on a 10/100 Ethernet connection and is compatible with Windows XP as well as Vista.
