Torrance, CA – March 1, 2006– TRENDnet, a best-in-class networking manufacturer of wired and wireless networking solutions, announced the addition of HP Photosmart Essential 1.9 software to its line of storage and print servers to help streamline printing, storing and sharing digital photos at home and over the Internet.

TRENDnet’s TS-U200 Storage Server allows users to easily add attached storage to a home network in order to back-up and share all of their digital photos. The unit includes an all-in-one memory card reader so users can simply take the flash memory out of their digital camera, slide it into the memory reader and, with the press of a button, download all of their digital photos to a central location. By adding HP Photosmart Essential, users now also can view, edit, print, and share these images locally or over the Internet. HP Photosmart Essential expands the customer’s options and makes photo editing and sharing easier, even for those new to digital photography.

TRENDnet plans to bundle HP Photosmart Essential with its award-winning line of wired and wireless print servers as well. Once an image has been edited with HP Photosmart Essential, users can print the photo to a shared printer using a TRENDnet wired or wireless print server conveniently located anywhere in the home.

“TRENDnet felt that by bundling HP Photosmart Essential, we could offer a more complete solution to our customers,” stated Heath Gregory, Marketing Director for TRENDnet. “We identified HP Photosmart Essential as the right photo application for our customers and worked with HP to include it as a valuable benefit.”

In addition to TRENDnet’s line of storage and printer servers, TRENDnet will be unveiling a number of exciting new innovations at the 2006 CeBit Tradeshow in Hanover, Germany (Hall 16, Booth # D18) March 9 – 15, 2006.
