    So, after looking at the website, it's a hand held scanner ? Have these things not been around for a long time ? I am sure I used one in the early 90s ( it was rubbish though, and mono ). I don't see why anyone would need one, there can't be many business documents written these days that aren't originally in a digital format, surely ?
    That 'printstick' portable printer on their site looked more interesting. #docupenxseries

    @RedEye: Yeah that printer looked handy, though paper stored rolled up like that tend to stay curved for a fair bit even after you unroll it, which could get annoying.

    But probably a whole lot less annoying that having to lug around a laptop-sized printer all day. #docupenxseries

    Awww.. It is the CueCat all grown up. How adorable.

    Sounds like a potentially useful device. I might have to try try this out, once it reaches the under a hundred bucks price point. #docupenxseries

    Did anyone click the PlanOn link? It says 64mb with expandable flash to 2 gigs... or am I missing something here? #docupenxseries

    @vincenzok: Looks like a typo on DVICE's part got duplicated here. #docupenxseries

    This gave me an idea that would make the Courier even better. A built in scanner feature so that if you get some sort of paper copy you can just put it on one of the screens and have it saved. #docupenxseries

    @BergenCountyJC: Yeah, I guess they do include a 3 MP camera on the Courier but of course taking a picture might be a bit harder than just quickly scanning something. #docupenxseries

    Another over-priced device that will become obsolete with paperless alternatives such as digital books, magazines, coupons ... list goes on. #docupenxseries

    @Th12eat: That's pretty much true of any scanner. The point is that this one provides decent quality for something you can lug about, which can come in really handy.

    Paperless sounds nice, but as I scan documents to send off, and have to read faxes, I fear paper will rule us for a while. #docupenxseries

    @Kaiser-Machead: It is pricey, maybe a lower-capacity budget version should be released... #docupenxseries

    @zaxwashere: I think it's strange that it even has 64GB to begin with. How many pages would one have to scan just to fill up several megabytes? #docupenxseries

    @Kaiser-Machead: i have a veeling that it would break before you could finish filling it

    it's only 600 DPI, so nothing high-def anyways... #docupenxseries

    @Kaiser-Machead: Checking the actual site it seems it is in fact only 64 megabyte, not gigabyte. Which obviously makes a whole lot more sense for a device like this. #docupenxseries
