When I first got a hold of it, I was really excited to figure out how it works. And mind you, not a lot of gadgets have the power to make me actually want to get to know it much more handle it.
So why this one? Well, it's a photo printer and probably the cutest one I have ever seen.

The HP Photosmart A516 Compact Photo Printer is exactly what it boasts on its box- "easy, portable printing without a PC." But with a PC, The HP Photosmart Software was incredibly easy to use to edit, enhance, and resize your photos. After using it with an adapter, its not hard to imagine that you can conveniently print 4 X 6 inch passport and panoramic photos anywhere and everywhere.

But the sad part is that the rechargeable, internal battery had to be purchased separately. Of course, there were instances where the printing lacked continuity and didn't go as smoothly. That's one thing that needed improvement. Nonetheless, that is not a reason for you not to get one!
