iPhone to get wireless printingNow, wouldn’t that be nice? There’s nothing more annoying than being almost completely digital and wireless in your daily life, only to have to resort to awkward file transfers in order to get that document off your mobile phone and printed to hard-copy. Of course, printing documents on paper kind of defeats the goal of going completely digital, but most of the world still relies on dead and processed trees to communicate information.

Analysis of the iPhone 2.0 OS code reveals a directory named “Printers” residing within. The directory is apparently empty as of now, but that could all change with the iPhone 2.0.1 OS update that’s due in the near future.

Take this rumor with a healthy spoonful of salt, as they say. But, if this particular speculation pans out, wireless printing will be another feature to look forward to with successive iPhone OS updates.
