Do you ever find yourself reading a discarded magazine or newspaper on the train or in the pub and finding an article that you think would be of interest to someone you know? I do it a lot (usually when I see a cool gadget I want to pass on to you guys!). Then you have to go through the rigmarole of ripping out the page or article, usually tearing a chunk off the bottom in the process, and folding it up into your back pocket. And then you've got to remember to take it with you when you next see the person you had in mind. And then - most crucially - you have to remember to actually give it to them. By the time you've forgotten it twice you wish you'd never bothered with it in the first place. Wouldn't it be easier if you could just scan in an email it without all the faf?
Step in the CopyCat Portable Scanner. Keep it in your bag and whip it out when you need to copy something. It's full colour (600 dpi) and can store 30,000 pages (well, if you have the right size of micro SD card in it - steal the one from your phone if you don't have a spare). It also has OCR software so that you can convert text images into word, clipboard or excel documents for editing yourself later.
You can use it on anything that scans, so the aforementioned 'article for a friend' scenario, as well as paper work you need to take home from the office, photos from your Mums house to put on Facebook and pretty much anything else you can think of.
