*Hey wow. Cool idea. Maybe I could scan those strips of paper and make some kind of "log" of them and put them on the World Wide "Web."
LITTLE PRINTER AND BERG CLOUD
29TH NOVEMBER 2011
"Hi. I’m Matt Webb from BERG, a design studio in London, UK. We specialise in product invention. Quick intro! With Bonnier, we were behind Mag+ (the first magazine platform for the iPad). And recently, with Warren Ellis and Matt Brooker, we published SVK, a comic printed in invisible ink.
"For the past year we’ve been working on our new product — and we’re delighted and excited to be able to take the wraps off at last!
"Today we’re announcing Little Printer.
"Little Printer lives in your front room and scours the Web on your behalf, assembling the content you care about into designed deliveries a couple of times a day.
"You configure Little Printer from your phone, and there’s some great content to choose from — it’s what Little Printer delivers that makes it really special. We have an incredible group of launch partners, and in the run-up to shipping we’re working with them all on custom publications.
"Our launch partners are Arup, foursquare, Google, the Guardian, and Nike. Thanks guys, it’s great to do this together.
"We love physical stuff. Connecting products to the Web lets them become smarter and friendlier – they can sit on a shelf and do a job well, for the whole family or office – without all the attendant complexities of computers, like updates or having to tell them what to do. Little Printer is more like a family member or a colleague than a tool.
"Plus paper is like a screen that never turns off. You can stick to the fridge or tuck it in your wallet. You can scribble on it or tear it and give it to a friend.
"Little Printer will be available in 2012. Check out the website, and sign up to the email list if you’d like to know when pre-orders open."
