Google Chrome OS means a new value for Print. If and only if the Print is clickable.

Perfect storms don't happen that often. The mobile web was first articulated back in 1996, by Larry Ellison. Since timing is everything, it didn't work then. But that was then, this is now.

The two mobile media are smart phones and Print. Put a QR code and a TinyUrl on the print piece and it's easy to go from one to the other. Add Cloud enabled MFPs for the enterprise. Then add Chrome OS, and you have the under $99 web appliance for everybody else.

Everybody else is the mass market. Mass markets mean Print is back in the game.
