Dell revealed a new printer, a handheld printer, that is not only portable but also good looking. The Wasabi PZ310 ultra-mobile printer is for ultra-mobile people who are very much into photography. It prints without wires using Bluetooth and is capable of holding up to 12 sheets of adhesive-backed paper. The best thing about this device? It never runs out of ink because there is no ink. Wasabi is designed to work with Bluetooth-enabled camera phones, digital cameras and mobile PCs as the perfect travel companion for capturing and sharing memories with instant wallet-size photos. The Wasabi measures just 4.8 x 2.8 x 0.9 inches, weighs 7 ounces, and prints 2 x 3 inch borderless color images in less than a minute.
