Panasonic Invents The Paperless Fax Machine

Panasonic Invents The Paperless Fax Machine

A high-tech invention heralds a new era of electronic messaging, allowing you to send digital files through the ether without using a scrap of paper.

Panasonic's paperless fax machine finally brings fax into the 21st century, letting you type in fax messages directly on a cordless handset, SMS-style, or convert digital files directly into fax messages.



The KX-PW608 has a Secure Digital card reader that, according to Tech Digest, can handle Word documents and files in 'other formats'. Sent or received messages can be viewed on a rather natty 3.9-inch LCD screen, so you no longer have to waste valuable ink.

The Panasonic KX-PW608 will be available in Japan towards the end of January.
