iPhone Printing Option Development Begins
Posted by Charles W. Teel in News on February 23, 2009
I am happy to announce that the early stages of developing ActivePrint Traveler for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch has now begun! According to the development team the iPhone version of ActivePrint Traveler will be completed in approximately one month putting us well ahead of the initial estimate of a two month development period.
With ActivePrint Traveler on your iPhone you will have by far the easiet means of printing from your iPhone. Here is some of what you will be able to print from your iPhone once we’re done:
- Photos from your photo album and built in camera
- Web pages from the internet
- Contacts from your Address Book
- Plain text from the built in notepad app
All of these features will be available soon in the App Store on Apple iTunes both on your desktop and your iPhone!
Keep watching this site over the next few weeks for updates. We will be posting information on a regular basis so you will be able to watch the development process as we build the iPhone version of ActivePrint Traveler.

Service Upgrades Coming Soon
Posted by Charles W. Teel in News on February 19, 2009
I’ve got some more good news today! With the upcoming development project of an iPhone version of ActivePrint Traveler, we’re going to be doing some major upgrades to our service. Presently the ActivePrint Traveler service is an ASP .Net 3.5 Web Application using Microsoft SQL Server.
For the past several days I have been working on a port of the ASP .Net version to a PHP version which will use MySQL. Now, after all that technical junk, what does that mean for you? It means a much faster means of printing from your phone! I’m also working on adding the ability to send print jobs of greater than our current limit of 10 megabytes. My goal is to double it to 20 megabytes.
So, keep an eye out in the next week or so for an upgrade to your current Windows Mobile ActivePrint Traveler clients.
Apple iPhone Version of ActivePrint Traveler News
Posted by Charles W. Teel in News on February 18, 2009
I have some good news everyone. Things are finally in line to jump full force into development of ActivePrint Traveler for the Apple iPhone! Some of our customers who have been with Pocket Watch Software for a long time will know that this is a huge step for us since we have been exclusively with the Microsoft Windows Mobile platform ever since it was still called Pocket PC and Windows CE.
So after alot of research and scratching our heads on how best to bring printing to the iPhone, we’re moving in that direction. Here’s what you can expect when we do finally release ActivePrint Traveler for the iPhone:
- Print photos, web pages, address book contacts, and plain text!
- Utilization of the unique Apple iPhone interface
- For developers, a means of adding printing functionality to your iPhone apps through ActivePrint Traveler
These are just some of the features we plan to include in ActivePrint Traveler for the iPhone. Watch this blog for news about development as it becomes available. Or have these announcements sent to you weekly via email here.
