Third party functionality keeps adding more and more features to the iPhone.  HP has just introduced (Store Link) a new app that lets you print your pictures to an HP printer.

From HP:

HP iPrint Photo is a free downloadable software application that allows you to quickly and easily print 4" x 6" photos. Images stored on your iPhone or iPod touch can print on most HP networked ink jet printers connected to a local WiFi network. Wireless printing is a fun extension of the iPhone / iPod touch’s easy photo capture and viewing experience.

It will be interesting to see if Apple releases some universal printing standards or if Printer manufacturers will have to each produce their iPhone application.

Download instructions

The HP iPrint Photo application is available as a free download from Apple’s "App Store" which is easily accessible from your iPhone, iPod touch or iTunes on your computer. You can download HP iPrint Photo in just a few moments directly to your iPhone or iPod touch or to your computer, then manually sync to your handheld device.

In order to install HP iPrint Photo to your device via a computer, Apple iTunes application must be installed and in use, and your handheld device firmware must be version 2.0 or higher. To access the latest version of iTunes, visit the download site at:

How to use HP iPrint Photo

Once you have loaded HP iPrint Photo to your handheld device-you are ready to go. It’s only a few simple clicks to print your photos from anywhere within the range of your wireless network.

1) Click on the HP iPrint icon

2) Choose the photo album where your picture is stored

3) Select the photo

4) Select the "Print" option in the lower portion of the screen

You should now be printing a 4" x 6" or 10 x 15 cm photo from your HP Inkjet printer*. Note: If this is the first time printing to a specific printer, select the desired printer from the list of available printers. You will not be required to complete this step again in order to print additional photos on the same printer.

Supported Network Environments:

HP iPrint Photo leverages Apple’s Bonjour technology to automatically identify HP wireless printers or other supported HP printers available on your network. HP iPrint supports industry standard WiFi environments (including Apple Airport, Linksys, D-Link, Netgear…).

*HP iPrint Photo defaults to print borderless 4" x 6" (American standard) and 10 x 15 cm (European standard) photos. If your printer has a separate photo tray, it will be automatically selected. Otherwise the default will be the printer’s main paper tray.

Printable version

Kids out there, go ask your parents before hitting the read link on this one.  iBoob is still getting denied by the apple store even though it doesn’t use real models and doesn’t show anyone nude.

NPR just released their new iPhone app (built by Pass Time Software).  Now you can listen to Car Talk and All things considered and On the Media on the go.   OK, yes NPR had a perfectly good WebApp that has most of the same functionality but Apps are the new black..  Also, for your laggards on 2.1 or below, you won’t be able to install this until you get around to updating.

There should be an app update within a week, which will make the station finder and podcasts available according to the developer

Get it here (iTunes link)

On a related note, you can hear NPR’s Macworld predictions here.  Screenshots below.

 

 

Smaller, cheaper(?), Nanoier, it looks like we’ll have some more room in the iPhone family for a little one in 2009.  The iPhone nano skin just appeared on XSKN’s website.  As MR points out they were also a bit premature in their release of 3G iPhone cases and 2G iPod Touch cases.  For this we have the following video…

Also, FYI, the nano screen is 320×240 pixels, you you *Could* have the current iPhone screen resolution in something the size of a fatty nano.  The touch keyboard would be more like a shuffle keyboard at that level though.

There is something poetic about using the iPhone’s coolest jailbroken app to document the SIM unlocking of the iPhone 3G.  Dev team, we and our European offices <3 thee
