Plan On PrintstickIf you like your documents to feel like till receipts and can't get enough of that 'marked by a hot coffee mug' look, then you'll love Plan On's new tiny portable printer, the Printstik.

Dubbed the world's smallest Bluetooth-enabled printer it measures a measly 25x48x280mm and will work with both laptops and smartphones. It takes thermal paper (hence the till receipt reference) in 8.5in-wide rolls, 20 pages long and packs enough battery power to print off 30 pages.

It weighs in at a laptop bag friendly 700g and will chuck out three pages a minute so we're told. It's available now for £199 - including your first 20-page roll.

    I blogged on this a while back and really its a bit more of a gimmick, or a mobile receipt printer than anything else. Especially the necessity of buying special thermal paper to work with it. Nevertheless I guess it fills a market niche.My posthttp://www.electricvagabond.com/2008/09/ultra-mobile-is-new-non-mobile-it-would.html

    Indeed - I can't see a clamour for such a printer. The last thermal printer I used was attached to a ZX Spectrum!
