iPhone to Print Wirelessly?

iPhone Wireless PrintingAll enterprise mobile solutions like Blackberry, HTC, among others have provided the option of directly printing onto a network printer. The much hyped iPhone has disappointed all its groupies so far in this regard. Neither did the original iPhone carry any component to print wirelessly nor does the latest 3G model. There is wide speculation that an upgrade in the iPhone operating system could carry wireless printing capability.

Currently, iPhone users transfer files-to-be-printed onto a computer to run the print job. It’s a tad annoying to transfer files off multiple machines to accomplish a simple task of taking a printout.

An analysis conducted on the iPhone 2.0 operating system source code reveals the presence of an empty printer directory. Experts are speculating that the new upgrade 2.0.1 will possess direct wireless printing capabilities.
