It’s an uphill battle for players in the all-in-one printer arena.  As one of the big players in the industry, HP unleashes TopShot LaserJet Pro M275.  It goes beyond that of traditional multi-functioning printers we’ve always seen in the market. By extending the TopShot arm above the printers, and positioning an object directly align with the camera, it can print 3D images.

“(It) combines six images (three with flashes from different angles, and three in ambient light conditions with different exposure levels) to mimic a studio-like product shot,” says Engadget.

The printer can also natively upload scanned images even without PCs, and can tether wirelessly to the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch via Apple’s AirPrint. It also allows users to scan and import business cards simultaneously, as well use HP cloud for online storage using the printer’s Biz Card app.

Even in the midst of a major transition across its company, HP’s products continue to grow.  HP Enterprise Services application delivery center opens an office in Pontiac, MI, just outside of Detroit, with plans of hiring 200 high-tech professionals and support over the coming months.  It was previously announced in June by Hewlett-Packard subsidiary that there is a $4.8 million allocation to add 200 technical employees for Pontiac.

While the HP’s printer is a killer, its smartphone and tablet offerings were brutally beat by rivals in the mobile space. It’s gotten so bad that HP had to drop webOS along with its Touchpad and Pre3. To those who bought or pre-ordered the two devices at full price, HP is providing refunds to peg the value with its graveyard price.
