With the new application, GlobalPrint Systems expands its vision of convenient, flexible cloud printing via the PrintPOD mobile print network. Through the PrintPOD mobile print network, GlobalPrint enables cloud printing in public spaces. Now users can send any document on their Android SmartPhone to the PrintPOD network, and print the output from any PrintPOD-enabled printer or kiosk. Android Selected to Reach More Customers Further extending its reach in the emerging mobile printing market, GlobalPrint Systems will also soon announce a major strategic partnership. "This partnership will dramatically expand the number of PrintPOD-enabled printers and nodes throughout the US and internationally, making cloud printing a reality for millions of consumers. Our vision of ubiquitous printing is becoming a reality," Mislinski said. Difference Is Printing Convenience and Flexibility GlobalPrint created the first cloud printing network in 2007, and has units installed in convention centers, hotels, resorts and airport lounges and other public spaces. PrintPOD-enabled printers, nodes and kiosks allow consumers to walk up, log in and print. Now, Android SmartPhone owners can select and print any document on the phone's storage, email folders, SMS text messages or photo gallery with the ease and security of the PrintPOD network. Benefits for Printer Providers, Too Owners of print devices also enjoy revenue from these consumer interactions, underwriting the total cost of ownership of a device they most likely already own to print emails, invoices, customer orders and other general business documents. The site owner can move the printer from the back office to the public space, encouraging consumer use and capturing more consumer transactions.
