With the appearance on the market of mobile phones equipped with high-image-quality 1-megapixel cameras, the company expects demand for printers that offer easy output to rise."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/parekh-20030721-fuji-mobileprinter.jpg" /><br /><br />I'd like to see such a printer made available for Pocket PCs too (perhaps those with cameras built in?), enabled via Bluetooth or IR. It could be a fun accessory!

It's not very portable and it's just a gadget, but I print to my HP 4100 via the infrared interface and the HP mobile printing software on my PDA.

Absolute fun for quick printing and exchanging or photos, I wonder what the future hold for PDAs, could this printer be BUILT-IN?! Is there a printer expansion sleeve for iPAQ?!

There was a portable Bluetooth printer announced by Panasonic that was supposed to be released in May (the JT-H200P).
If HP don't have one in the pipeline already they should.

Not mujch use to most Pocket PC owners, but there's been an ad in the few issues of Pocket PC Magazine that I've seen where there's a printer you clip onto your belt and print receipts etc from there.
