TechCrunch announces the launch of the Presto service, created by the American company of the same name. The developers have combined the capabilities of the Internet and the HP printer.
A printer worth $ 149.99 connects to the Internet through a regular telephone network and prints letters that have been sent to the user's email address on the presto .com domain. It will print letters only from those senders that the user has added to his address book.
The target audience, judging by the images on the official website , are older people who do not know how to use a computer. Thanks to the service, they will be able to receive letters from more “advanced” relatives and friends without any problems.
The fee for using the service is $ 9.99 per month.
