While at CES 2011 Andrew Moore-Crispin gets to preview the Planon SlimScan, a business card scanner the size of a credit card that can fit in your wallet. The Planon SlimScan can also scan receipts and can hold up to 800 scans. It's also compatible with both PCs and Macs and features character recognition software when used on Windows machines @ butterscotch.com: http://bit.ly/fpGCop
It's got a definite coolness factor. I wonder if there's any practical value in carrying it around though if you also have a smartphone. Would you be better served with an OCR app and the phone's camera thereby eliminating the step(s) of transferring data from the scanner to your computer and finally your phone?
