HP puts printers in public locations in AP

Hewlett-Packard has launched two schemes to make its printers available in public locations in Asia, reports CNET Asia:

-- "The first is a pilot program that allows hotel guests to rent printers that work with PDAs and the Nokia Series 60 handsets.

-- In the second scheme, printers have been installed in stores. The scheme, called U-Print, is available at 50 access points in Seoul".

And interesting, a business application mentioned:

"Hyundai Marine and Fire Insurance has deployed the U-Print service for its insurance agents, so they can print insurance contract applications on the spot."
