HP enables 6 more printers for AirPrint

Today HP has enabled AirPrint functionality on 6 more of its printers. Steve Jobs said, in an email, that there were lots more printers coming to join the 12 that were originally enabled. 18 printers is an improvement but if the technology is going to take off there's got to be some major increases in number.

If you don't have one of these printers then you can still enable AirPrint. Follow the instructions in this article on how to enable AirPrint.

iPad 2 to feature rear-facing camera

While this has been an expected feature of the second generation iPad, having been anticipated with the leaked case pictures, Reuters has today been the first high profile news outlet to confirm a second camera. They had a total of 3 sources, one of which also indicated that the iPad would be thinner and have a higher resolution screen (another two pretty likely improvements).

Thanks to MacRumours for the news.
