Not just cameras

Canon has a new portable printer, the PIXMA iP100.

It's so portable, you can make border-less color photos from the car or even at the beach (the press release said that, but I have better things to do at the beach) with increased color resolution (9600 x 2400) and faster printing speeds than previous models. It's small and light enough to fit in areas with limited space and is able to print up to  20 pages-per-minute for black and up to 14 ppm for color.

It has a PictBridge port to allow the option to print from a compatible digital camera or DV camcorder without a computer in sizes of 4-x 6 inch, 4-x 8 inch, 5-x 7 inch, and 8-x 10 inch.

Besides using the standard USB 2.0, consumers can print wirelessly or from select Bluetooth enabled cellular phones and computers with the new optional ($49.99) user installable Bluetooth Unit BU-304.
