Cute, and nice music choice. But wasteful, and most of the things they print out on the video left me thinking "wait, why would I print that? I can read that off my smartphone in 2 seconds!" It would take longer to print than just read. The Sudoku puzzle makes more sense, and a todo list might, but still...

Depending on the content, I think a scrapbook of daily updates would be a fascinating collection for my kids to one day look through. Making interesting collections of news would outweigh the wastefulness of the experience (it's far more conservative than a daily paper).

  Well, a daily paper gives me a lot more information... I could sit and read it for an hour...

  It's thermal paper, which tends not to last very well. This is especially a problem for medical information. (http://www.mdsr.ecri.org/summary/detail.aspx?doc_id=8155 http://www.mdsr.ecri.org/summary/detail.aspx?doc_id=8155)

  Unfortunately the printouts wouldn't last for more than a few years (Little Printer uses thermal printing).

  Most reputable stores recommend photocopying your thermal paper receipts if you'll ever need them for warranties because they fade so fast.

With a good API I could think of lots of things that I'd personally use this for. I, for one, like having a daily list of tasks I need to accomplish on paper that I can have with me (I know I have my cell phone, but something about that physical copy just makes me more proactive in checking it and getting those items done). Also, I coach my son's basketball team and before every practice I'm making out a practice plan (currently just in a notebook), but that would be nice to store them online, easily modify, then print before practice.

Don't think only about the function, also think about the artistic possibilities.
