Design Porn: Little Printer

I hate printers. Hate them. And to be honest, I think they hate me a little bit as well. If there's one piece of machinery that will send me into a fit of rage, it'll be a printer. Yet I don't think I could ever get angry at Little Printer. I want to make friends with Little Printer. He's adorable and only prints out fun things. With a smile on his face. Watch him in action:



He's basically a little like your own newspaper printer. You decide what you want to get in your updates...

Like little birthday updates.

Or your latest to-do list. (Very handy if you realise that you've got four to do lists all over the place.)

Little Printer has hundreds of services (oh, hai Times crossword). You sign up to the ones you like and watch him go. He lives in your home or on your desk, and he's sort of like an internet newspaper. You choose when you'd like them delivered and right on time he prints out all of your fun things.

Little Printer isn't cheap - he's £199. But he's also a really interesting piece of technology design (you can change his little face and make him a she if you like). It's taking the idea of a Smartphone and turning all of that information into something tangible. I love newspapers as much as I love the internet, Little Printer mixes the two together.

And he's also stupidly cute.

Thanks to @JM_Underwood for the tip off.
