they have this "wall" concept that is equally is futuristic...

Brilliant! But I think this could serve better as just a tablet app that's compatible with printers. There's no reason at all someone couldn't do this right now without proprietary hardware. Maybe just even make a printer that doubles as a desktop iPad dock?

Would buy this to impress chicks, besides my already great looks.

GnarShredd, not every one owns a mac product dude..... on stupid ipads there isnt even a SD drive so if u used your SLR or something to shoot really nice pics you wouldnt be able to just easily slip your card in to edit and print some pics. I think this is a great idea, and really solid even as a normal printer. small compact and easy to use. I hate how bulky modern printers are.

some comments on youtube made me look further into it.

it is however only a concept and the idea is sheer brilliance even if it that camera is a fake.

-=AlexXx=-, I understand that, it was just an example. Tablets are everywhere and this is something that they are completely capable of doing right now if a printer was simply added.

You're right though, it's near impossible to get photos from a camera to a device that doesn't have a memory card slot, such a hassle... Rolling Eyes
