One of the latest patent additions from Google is a smartphone printer patent. Okay well what does it mean? It means that Google are developing a smartphone that can print.

The smartphone printer seems to be linked with Google’s latest invention Google Glass.

“Google Glass” are simple high technology glasses that turn a person into a superhuman. They present the user with the user-interface similar to the one in the “Iron-man” movie.

Once you put the glasses on you can search the Internet, get directions, measure distance, instantly translate languages and much more. The device works by detecting the the eye movement and speech recognition. The everyday life will never be the same with these amazing goggles from Google.

The smartphone printer will most likely be linked to it, enabling you to print anything and anywhere just by looking through a pair of glasses or by simply stating a command.

The search engine giant Google has been progressively expanding and multiplying the shares by an impressive 800% in the last 10 years. With this latest addition to their arsenal who is to say that they can’t do the same in the next decade? This makes Google, a viable investment opportunity.

I personally don’t think that the good old inkjet and laser printers can be replaced by the smartphone printer. It’ll provide freedom to print pictures straight after taking them. However, prints will be too small to challenge necessary quality and efficiency that HP and Brother offer now. Having said that, the smartphone printer will probably come handy for someone that is constantly on the go.

We can only speculate what type of device this will be. All I know, once it comes out it will be big – if it’s affordable of course.
