From http://www.printdreams.co.uk/printbrush.php:

World's smallest printer device...!!
The PrintBrush will be by far the smallest printer device in the world that can print full size formats (A4 or letter size)
In many ways it will be even better than stationary printers or other so called "mobile" printers.
For example, it will be possible to print directly in notebooks or other media that would never fit into a conventional printer device.
It will also be completely silent allowing you to print during ongoing meetings, etc.
On top of all that, no wires, no cables, no mess!!

Is Google Navigation the death of Garmin, Magellan and TomTom?

Google has just released its free navigation software for mobile phones running Android 2.0, much to the chagrin of the big names in the GPS game. While folks like Garmin and Magellan have plenty to fear, even companies that use an iPhone app have to be worried too, because this, like most things Google, is just so much cooler than anything out there.

The new Google Maps Navigation software is everything you would expect from Google. First and foremost, it can turn any Android 2.0 device into a turn-by-turn GPS navigator, guiding you to any address you want. It can understand your voice, too: just speak the name of your destination instead of typing it (how much safer is that?), check traffic along the way, or use the car dock that automatically sets the phone into navigation mode, ready to hit the road.
