Ever imagine that you could wirelessly receive scanned documents, digital camera photos or send electronic files directly to a printer via Infrared? Now you can with JetSend for Windows CE. Designed as a mobile users’ connection to Hewlett Packard’s proprietary communications protocol, the application allows any Windows CE device to communicate with over 5 million other JetSend-enabled products reportedly already in the market.

For example, users of the HP Capshare 920 (see "related articles" below) or the HP C500 Digital Camera could send a document or photo to the Windows CE device, where the user can view and annotate it using highlighting or text. Once the user is satisfied with the document, it can be sent via infrared to a laptop or printer, as an E-mail attachment directly from the JetSend application, or copied off the device during synchronization.

As an added bonus, JetSend gives Windows CE users advanced Infrared capabilities when talking to other Windows CE users. When your friends install JetSend, you can exchange image files, E-mail, appointments, and tasks – functionality that Windows CE doesn’t have built-in, but should!

JetSend for Windows CE requires 450kb of memory, and is available for the SH3/SH4, MIPS, and StrongARM processors systems running CE v2.11. For a limited time, HP has a free version of Jetsend for Windows CE available for download at http://www.jetsend.hp.com/
