Demise of printing on account of the iPad Heres the man bites dog version

Demise of printing at the hands of the iPad? Its a familar story of the last few years, but heres a "man bites dog" version, as related in a CNet story questioning the veracity of the "accidental nature" of BBC newsperson Simon McCoy mistaking a package of office paper for an iPad. As the piece, by Chris Matsyzyczyk, points out, the "heft" of the paper would make it very difficult to mistake for the much lighter iPad.

Our industry has been very aware of the shift from consumption of information via electronic devices, like smartphones and tablet computers, at the expense of printers and the supplies and paper which go with them. Heres a purported case, however, of paper replacing the iPad - and does that overall incredulity lead to why it the story is so questioned?

Interesting HP developments on and off the field

Pardon the sports metaphor in my headline today, but it seems that, at least from an HP printing and imaging perspective, the phrasing "Interesting HP developments - on and off the field" sums up this week perfectly for the Palo Alto, CA-based tech giant.

Numerous stories this January have covered speculation about HP spinoffs

Since I wrote my December Observations about the potential of seeing an independent "HP Printing Company" (see Spin-off Spinning) in 2013, MUCH has been discussed about the company and its potential plans to shed business units, lest others take on the job for them. And the stock has responded - from the time of my December column, with the stock languishing in the $12-and-change range, $HPQ has been generally "up and to the right", closing today at $17.11.

HP Mobile Print Agreement did at least get some ink

So from the business operations standpoint, this would have to be considered the "off the field" activity. "On the field", HP had an exciting mobile-print-oriented announcement this week, with a deal involving smartphone/tablet printing, on the go, to 8,000 Walgreens locations, expanding their "ePrint" network to 30,000 total locations, worldwide. I discuss this in further detail at my "Goin Mobile" blog at the Imaging Channel (see "Build It, and They (Might) Come".)

And the sports metaphor about on-and-off-the-field stories holds further. As is in the world of sports, and just like in this post, its the "off the field" stories which capture the top position!
