With more and more products taking the wireless road, it is only a matter of time before printers also come equipped with WiFi and/or Bluetooth capabilities. Although such printers are available, they are few and far between as the critical mass for WiFi-enabled digital cameras have not yet been breached. Nevertheless, this does not prevet Olivetti from unveiling a couple of new printers that boast both Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, doing away with the need to have a PC as the
middleman when you want to print photos on-the-fly. The Olivetti Any Way and Simple Way both boast speedy print speeds of 20 pages per minute in monochrome, while color prints are just a tad slower at 18 pagers per minute. The Any Way printer holds the edge over the lower end Simple Way by virtue of its optional photo faxing capability. The Any Way printer is equipped with a 2.4" color LCD from where you can control the different printer settings. A full-bleed 10 x 15 photo takes just 75 seconds to print out, while the included image improvement software will brush up your older photos in a jiffy. Both printers are available in the European market only, with no word of a Stateside release.Pros : Can be connected wirelessly or via Bluetooth
Cons : Inkjet cartridges are expensive
