Product Description: Printing hard copy while on the move is now even easier with the Bluetooth version of MPrint the world's smallest self-contained mobile printer.

Amazon.com Product Description: With the MPrint MW-140BT from Brother, you can print documents on-the-go from your Palm, PocketPC, or laptop. Lightweight (only 10 ounces) and perfect for travel, the MW-140BT utilizes Bluetooth technology to print 4.1-by-2.9-inch documents, without the need for external cabling.
The MW-140BT utilizes an automatic feed mechanism to print from one of several available print cassettes, which include thermaPlus M paper, carbon copy, labels, or cut labels (two sizes). The direct thermal printing technology prints at a 300 x 300 resolution with print speeds of up to 15 seconds per page.
The MW-140BT has a bluetooth range of up to 30 feet, while an indicator light lets you know the printer's status. The included software bundle helps you to get the best prints possible and includes drivers for Palm, PocketPC, and Windows. A USB port is included for connecting to non-Bluetooth enabled laptops.
The built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery comes with an AC adapter for charging purposes. Up to 100 pages can be printed continuously with a fully charged battery, while an auto power-off feature helps conserve battery life by shutting down after 5 minutes of inactivity. Compatible with Windows laptops only, the MW-140BT also comes backed with a one-year warranty.
What's in the Box Printer, software CD-ROM, USB cable, compact switching adapter, one paper cassette containing 50 sheets of thermal paper
Way too much money for what it does. Does a fair job printing documents from Palm Docs to Go, if you print from inside Docs to Go. Also I found I needed PrintBoy or some other Palm application to use this printer at all. The Bluetooth feature is an improvement over the earlier IR-only model, and I don't mind that it only uses A7 size thermal paper. But the Palm OS itself doesn't support printing Docs to Go fonts, so what you see on your Palm device is not what you get from the printer. Also no graphics printing, but again, that's a Palm OS problem. Other than that, it's a pretty amazing little device, but not worth half of what it costs.
