Personal photo printing has been around for quite some time, except that getting your photos printed out right after you’ve taken them isn’t exactly something you can do without the right equipment. Sure, one can argue that portable photo printers such as Canon’s Selphy ES-series do let you print on the go without having to find a wall socket to plug in for power, but getting one that literally fits into your pocket wasn’t really possible. Until of course, Dell came into the picture with their Wasabi photo printer.

The Tech Feed Five is something new I’m trying out; basically a (regular, hopefully) set of the five more interesting items I’ve come across on the Web related to tech, the Internet, social media and other somewhat related what-have-yous.

If you’ve got any interesting links to share, feel free to ping me on Twitter!
Kickass Wall-E Casemod @Gizmodo
The last time I was into case-modding was a couple of years ago.

As for the Wall-E casemod? Simply brilliant; not because the modder went with a predictable model, but because of the attention to detail. Oh, and that he finished everything in under three weeks.
BlueTooth 3.0 Revealed @ Phonescoop
The next step in BlueTooth technology. The most interesting bit, IMO: pairing done via BlueTooth, but actual data transfer handed off to Wi-Fi. Sweet.
Unibody iPods? @ iPodNN
Apple is apparently filing a patent for unibody iPods. Makes a lot of sense to unify the design and manufacturing processes across their line, given the potential for cost savings and the like. No word of unibody housings for their handheld devices though. A unibody iPhone would sure look a heck of a lot better then the plastic-backed monstrosity that is the current iPhone 3G.
Text Batch Processing Tools Roundup @ SmashingMagazine
If ctrl+f doesn’t really do it for you, maybe one of these text batch processing tools might float your boat.
TechCrunch’s CrunchPad @ TechCrunch
Fancy a touch-screen internet tablet, powered by nothing more than a simple browser? Better yet, this one boasts software designed by a Singapore-based company – Fusion Garage.
