Bachmann Software's Bluetooth-enabled PrintBoy application Anywhere software is slated to be available with Anycom's Bluetooth printer module.
Bachmann said PrintBoy Anywhere allows Palm OS users to wirelessly print their data via Bluetooth, a wireless technology that allows devices to communicate without cables. Anycom markets a Bluetooth printer adapter that allows users to upgrade a parallel-based printer to be Bluetooth-compatible. The combination of Anycom's print adapter and PrintBoy Anywhere provides Palm OS users equipped with Bluetooth-enabled handhelds to easily print their information.
"After recently announcing our new PM-2002 printer module, we are pleased to partner with Bachmann Software to distribute their new PrintBoy software enabling Palm users to print to any parallel printer," said Tom Pocsics, Anycom, Inc.'s president.
According to the companies, a free trial version of PrintBoy Anywhere software will be distributed with each of Anycom's Bluetooth printer modules. PrintBoy Anywhere will also be available for sale from Anycom, with an expected MSRP of $39.99 each. Current users of PrintBoy Deluxe may upgrade to PrintBoy Anywhere (including Bluetooth and network printing support) for $14.99 at Bachmann Software's website.
