Pen-sized Color Scanner

Right out of the James Bond movies is the Planon RC800 Docupen , a pen sized color scanner with built-in 8 MB memory to store hundreds of scanned pages till you plug it into a Mac or a PC via USB. Just like a regular handheld scanner from yesteryear, all you need to do is pass it over a page, and you’re set. By eliminating the need to plug the unit into a computer before scanning, this one makes a perfect portable companion for casual business meets and lunches, or even for social events like visiting old friends and relatives, who may have old photos of you. The pen is sized at 9.5 inches, which may be a bit too long for your shirt front pocket, but you can easily fit it into a handbag or a briefcase. You can even add a micro SD card if the in-built 8 MB does not suffice. $350 US seems pretty fair for this one, doesn’t it? [/TAGS]
