Air Photo prints photos directly from iPhone or iPod touch
While the technology itself won't be that helpful for everyone (who really prints pictures any more, especially iPhone pictures?), it is interesting to see this done so easily and well with a wireless connection. Sure, there's apps like Remote and the Keynote controllers, but it seems like the iPhone-as-wireless-accessory idea is still relatively untapped on the App Store.

I have had this software for three days now and I love it. It's simply amazing! I turns my printer into a wireless printer so now I dont have to buy a $100 add on. I just hope they'll allow documents in the future. Must Buy! Fo real!

I'd love to see if this will print attachment from your email. Don't know if something like that is possible, but documents and PDF's would be useful. There have been a few times where I have wanted to do that.

I wish there was an app available that would allow me to send photos to my Pogo printer! :(

Even better is HP iPrint. It will allow you to send your iPhone photos straight to a wireless HP printer as long as your on the network. It only prints 4x6, but it does them borderless and without any trouble. It worked great on two different wireless HP printers that I tried it on.

The HP iPrint is much better. It's free, and it requires no setup at all. It will find the network printer for you and set up the relationship automatically.
I think it may only work with HP printers though.

What would be nice is if someone came up with a way to print just any ol' document directly from the iPhone via Bonjour.

If you don't have a HP printer, then this is currently your only solution if you want to print photo's from your iPhone. Come on Canon, Epson etc. if HP and a 3rd party developer can do it, so can you!!

This is another peice of software that I hope soon becomes a future feature in the device itself, because I could see this being very useful. Especially if you received a picture in email, it would be cool if you could just shoot it off to your printer ASAP.
Either way, this software seems like a really good idea for those who like to print allot of photos.

I'm glad this is conceptually possible, but I'm waiting for the ability to print >>any

...documents directly to a printer from the iPhone.
[Sorry, something weird happened with my comment.]

I was amazed when I printed a photo straight from my iPhone to my HP networked printer, without the PC being on.
Amazed because it's the only time a piece of HP software has just plain worked.

Wow.... it worked once and only once. After that it didn't work NO MATTER WHAT I DID. It's not something I did, since I just did exactly what it told me to. It also took about 30 minutes for me to find the software to download. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!
