Ooh! Here's what you can do with the $34 you save on the iPod touch. (See previous post.) Wal-Mart has the HP DeskJet F2110 all-in-one printer for exactly that price, though you will have to pay shipping and/or sales tax.

The F2110 prints, scans, and copies in color. It features a 100-sheet input tray and works with Windows and Mac systems. You can find the complete specs on the product page--and almost nowhere else. Curiously, this model doesn't appear on HP's own site. Too new? Maybe a Wal-Mart exclusive? I'm not sure, but I can handle a little mystery in exchange for a $34 multifunction printer! For what it's worth, 171 Wal-Mart shoppers rated the F2110 4 stars out of 5 on average.

FYI, this does not ship with black ink. You have to purchase a black ink cartridge as well. So that takes the lustre a little off of the $34 price point.

True, but the included three-color cartridge can produce a composite black. Not as good as true black, of course, but sufficient for basic printing.

Plus is does not ship with a USB cable; another $8.00 for that REQUIRED cable.

This Printer is great even though it doesn't come with a USB Cable and Black Ink it is still great. When you print something it doesn't use very much ink at all. I love it.
