Mobile printer from LG is improved over predecessor

This latest version of the device is lighter, more compact, and produces twice the number of prints.

LG has now developed a new version of its mobile printer, the Pocket Photo 2.0, that is being applauded a s a considerable improvement over the design and capabilities of its predecessor.

This device has improved on several different levels over the one that came before it.

The Pocket Photo 2.0 mobile printer is lighter than the first one, is more compact, which makes it easier to carry around, but it will also print twice the number of photos that its predecessor was capable of producing. For every charge, this little machine is capable of printing thirty prints. Furthermore, the developers have been able to shave a half hour off its charge time.

The mobile printer may be an LG device, but it is compatible with several operating systems.


The LG Pocket Photo 2.0 is compatible with Android, iOS, and Microsoft Windows, and can produce wireless printing through near field communication (NFC technology) and even through Bluetooth connectivity. The older version of this device was capable of supporting only NFC for Android smartphones, which had considerably limited its compatibility.

The printouts produced by this product feature a resolution of 313 dpi, and they measure 51 by 76 millimeters. It is now accompanied by an enhanced companion app that comes with a brand new set of features, including new filter effects and an option for augmenting frames. This model uses Zink printing technology, and its design has eliminated the need to have to replace ink, which is a very costly part of many printing devices.

This mobile printer is already available on retail shelves in China and will work its way around the rest of the world throughout this year. It is expected that the Pocket Photo 2.0 will also be showcased in Las Vegas at the CES 2014, which will run from January 7 through to January 10. Its increased compatibility with smartphones and other devices, as well as its more practical features could make it a considerable hit and will be certain to draw a lot of attention.

World’s cheapest tablet launched in Canada

After having been developed in Montreal, the gadget is now being sold in the country.

The world’s cheapest tablet has now been created by DataWind, a company that was formerly based in Montreal, Canada, and that is now the third largest seller of these gadgets in India.

Under CTO Raja Tuli, the least expensive of the devices was developed and is now available in Canada.

One of the secrets behind the world’s cheapest tablet is in the special touchscreen, which is made of a sheet of glass with a photoresist coating. The devices are currently so inexpensive, that twenty of them could be purchased for the same price as a single premium iPad.

At the moment, the world’s cheapest tablet is going for the highly affordable price of $37.99.

The device has a 7 inch screen and runs on a low 512 megabytes of RAM, with storage of 4GB. The machine, itself, has been named the Ubislate 7 Ci. An upgrade of the device is available for twice the price, to provide cellular connectivity. That version is called the Ubislate 7C+.

The special inexpensive touchscreens for the DataWind devices are currently manufactured in Montreal, Canada, the country where the company was founded. Since moving to India, the company has managed to become the top tablet seller, in part because of the low price tags that it can attach to its products. Moreover, it is also preferred because the devices are compatible with the antiquated cellular network in India. Hundreds of thousands of these machines have been supplied to school children in India, by way of a partnership that it has forged with the Ministry of Education in the country.

What has yet to be seen is whether or not these world’s cheapest tablets will find themselves as welcome in Canada as they are in India. It is likely that people will choose to purchase them for more basic functions, for kids or seniors, as an alternative to the top models for those who cannot afford them, or to be able to bring one along on trips that come with a risk of breaking or losing the device.
