Dell Inkless Bluetooth Printer Revealed by FCC

An otherwise nondescript filing for a Bluetooth printer on the FCC's site reveals that it's really not nondescript at all when you look through the product shots—the system is a Zink-technology-based inkless printer branded with a Dell logo. You can't really see how it could possibly work from this first shot (which appears to be the underside), but flip it over and things seem to make sense: More »

This is what happens when a toner cartridge explodes. Beautiful! I just wish all explosions ended with such pretty pictures. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go stick some fireworks inside my printer. [Flickr via Kottke]

Plus, each unit is only about 6-inches tall. Available for pre-order now, the 700 will run $200 with the 800 costing $300.

Dot Matrix Wallet Smears Fashion All Over Your Sweaty Pocket

We're not going to spend all day explaining why this dot matrix wallet is the best thing we've ever seen. If you don't know, then you are without joy in your life. And there's simply nothing we can do about it. However, as for its downsides, we're pretty sure there's not room for both your Visa and Diner's Club cards inside. So you'll have pare down a bit. Oh, and unlike other cult-y homemade-looking geek paraphernalia, this wallet is actually for sale for $17. [fredflare via UberReview]

Casio PCP-1200 Photo Printer Has 7-Inch Touchscreen, Keyboard for Some Reason

This new photo-printer from Casio is one mixed-up gizmo: As well as standard photo-printing functions, it's got a 7-inch touchscreen and a full keyboard. So is it a mini computer with printer aspirations, or a printer with computing aspirations? Hard to say, but it's supposedly able to edit the photos you pop in from a memory card or mobile phone, and produce custom greetings cards, calendars and the like. And it comes with hundreds of built-in stamps and illustrations. You'd better be seriously into DIY greetings though: the PCP-1200 costs a whacking $500 in Japan. [Far East Gizmos]

Canon Brings Bucket-Shaped Selphy CP770 to US

It was one of those wacky things we thought might not make it to the US but sure enough it has: Canon's CP770 Selphy printer lives, hermit-crab like, inside a bucket. Details of the thing are after the jump, but the US price is $150. Canon also announced the CP760, which as you can see in the gallery is not as cute, but is "compact" and costs just $100. Both printers use dye-sub layered printing, now with an "overcoat" technology to help cut back on blurring. More »

Canon's Printer-in-a-Bucket Selphy CP770 is One For The Kids

Canon's new dye-sublimation photo printer is a departure from the boring old box designs: it's basically a bucket, and is aimed at kids. The bucket part unclips, and is supposed to store wires and accessories rather than sand and a collection of worms. The printer itself is designed for easy operation, with big buttons, a 2.5-inch TFT and accepting all varieties of SD card, MMC and MemoryStick and xD too.

Color Laser Printer CLP-315K is World's Smallest, Says Samsung

20% smaller than the previous generation, Samsung is claiming their new CLP-315K is actually the World's smallest color laser printer. It's got a resolution of 2,400 x 600 dpi and can spit out four letter-sized pages per minute in color and 17 in black, and apparently it has improved photo quality output. There's also another small all-in-one edition, the CLX-3175FNK, which has a scanner built in and can scan to and print from USB memory sticks so it can operate PC-free if you need it to. There's no word on release date or price yet, sorry. [Akihabaranews]
