BreezyPrint Launches BlackBerry Print Software
SAN FRANCISCO, April 5 -- Until today, if you wanted to print an email attachment from your BlackBerry without having to go through a cumbersome wireless setup process, you were out of luck.
That's changed with the launch of BreezyPrint, a new product from San Francisco-based startup Accipiter Innovations, which allows BlackBerry users to print any document wirelessly to any printer.
"We're very excited to bring this product to market," said Jared Hansen, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Accipiter Innovations. "BreezyPrint is unlike anything in the market right now in terms of security, versatility and simplicity, so we're glad to finally have an opportunity to show it off."
Mr. Hansen, a former lawyer, explained that the inspiration for BreezyPrint was personal. "I worked in a large law firm for several years, and always had to jump through a bunch of annoying technical hoops to print my documents," he said. "What I really wanted was to print directly from my BlackBerry, but I couldn't find an app that would let me do it. I finally just decided to build one myself." In June of 2009, Mr. Hansen began working with a small team of developers to create and test the product. In September he left the law firm to work fulltime on BreezyPrint, and now, after the conclusion of an extensive beta test phase, he believes that BreezyPrint is ready for the public.
After downloading and installing the BlackBerry software, users can print within seconds to any printer they have made available to the service, regardless of where they or the printer are physically located and without having to navigate firewall settings or other standard setup hurdles. This is accomplished by an innovative, patent-pending method that uses a centralized server to route traffic from each user's BlackBerry to a printer chosen by the user.
Security is at the core of BreezyPrint's architecture. "Everything you print with BreezyPrint is encrypted in transit, so that not even BreezyPrint staff can access our users' documents," said Mr. Hansen. He continued, "The whole system was engineered from the ground up to be secure enough for the enterprise, without sacrificing simplicity or ease of use."
BreezyPrint is available now at http://www.breezyprint.com, and is coming soon to BlackBerry App World. Future versions will support iPhone and Android devices.
