A USB Typewriter?

Posted by Cliff on from the reinventing-the-printer dept.

jashmenn asks: "In my search for a furthering of the arts combined with technology I recently had the idea of hooking up an electronic typewriter to my USB port. The idea is to eventually write a script that would automatically send the text of emails to be typed on the typewriter. Does Slashdot have know of resources I can use for combining new and old school technologies such as these?"

    I have a HD based mp3 walkman (Treo10, from e.Ditigal), and now purchased a Sony DSC-W1. Both devices uses USB, so it may be possible to hack them (maybe only the Treo10) to transfer the photos from the camera to the walkman. That way I could have 10GB to store photos when I'm on a trip away from any computer of even eletricity. Once I downloaded a SDK from e.Digital to program the Treo firmware, but I couldn't find it on their website anymore.
