Printer of the Millenium

It's the most wonderful time of the year - okay - well, actually it's cold, rainy and I am itching to buy a new winter coat but that's a totally different topic all together. Tonight I'm tackling technology. And this time, since I already offered my picks on my fave kids games for Nintendo DS and Wii, it's now time for some amazing tech toys for adults! So without further ado, check out the first of our must-have holiday gifts!

Back in July, I was able to get a sneak peak of a brand new printer from HP that has so many bells and whistles it will literally blow you away. Let's just start with the first amazing thing about the HP Touchsmart wireless printer. It connects to the Internet without having to connect to a PC. Which means you can print maps, USA Today, crafts and word games for your kids from Nickelodeon, Dreamworks and Disney; coupons, movie tickets and much more! If you were ever able to turn an iPhone app into something that's printable, that's exactly what the HP Touchsmart printer does! Plus, you can even customize the applications to select apps that you're interested in and for printing, there's a slot for photo paper - which means you'll never have to switch back and forth between trays and jam up the machine (has happened to me umpteen times).

Check out all these features:

* HP TouchSmart Web: Touch the color screen to access and print Web content. No need to start the PC
* Customize the HP TouchSmart screen with the right apps for you
* Easiest wireless setup - simply touch one button
* Get up to 50% paper savings using automatic two-sided printing
Auto-engaging photo tray
* Affordable, individual inks replace each cartridge separately when it's needed.

Don't believe a printer could be that amazing? Well check out this video and see for yourself!
