Hello everyone

I'm looking for a good mobile printer to match my powerbook - but there don't seem to be many around...:

- anyone want to recommend a mobile printer (reviews & experience appreciated)
- I'm especially interested in the Canon i70 (does this one do bluetooth?)
- also: are there any rumors of new/updated mobile printers from Canon, HP or others?

Thanx for your suggestions...

I just bought the i70. I like it, but there wasn't anything that really filled all my needs/desires for compact size, light weight, and features. I was rather disappointed to find how limited the choices are in the mobile printer world right now. The i70 doesn't have Bluetooth. I sure wish it did.

The Canon is amazing.

Trust me, you DO NOT want bluetooth on a printer.... it chokes when printing an 8x10 photo.

One thing I forgot to mention about the i70: this may not matter to you if you wouldn't be using it, but I was just shocked to see that it doesn't have a slot for a security cable. Considering it's designed to be mobile, I would have expected they would make provisions for people who wanted to leave it in their hotel room or something.
