Planon DocuPen X05 portable scanner review

Chris Davies, Dec 10th 2009 Discuss [0]

Scanners, unsurprisingly, lag behind other areas of consumer electronics when it comes to raw appeal, but if you’re determined to grab attention then Planon’s DocuPen X05 isn’t a bad place to start. A slender, battery powered scanning wand, the X05 squeezes an OLED display and Bluetooth into a mobile document capture tool, small enough to drop into any laptop bag.

IntelliScanner creates your own database of films and books

Shane McGlaun, Sep 25th 2009 Discuss [0]

I like to watch movies and read books, at least I used to before I had kids and didn’t have time to do anything but clean up messes and fetch snacks. I still have gobs of movies and books stuffed in boxes and under the bed, in fact, I don’t really even know what I have anymore. If you are the same way and want to organize your collection of books and movies the IntelliScanner Classic may help. Read The Full Story

Brenda Stokes, Jun 19th 2009 Discuss [0]

Plustek revealed the next flatbed scanner in their OpticBook line today called the A300. This scanner is in large format and is intended to be used to scan books or anything that's bound and normally difficult to fit on a regular scanner. This new scanner is capable of scanning 12 x 17-inch A3 pages. It can do so at a rate of 2.4 seconds and works with even very thick books.

FetchBot DIY dog-ball launcher

Chris Davies, Oct 31st 2008 Discuss [0]

I don't have a dog, which is probably a good thing as I bore terribly easily and playing with it all the time would soon lose its charm. FetchBot might be one way of alleviating said-boredom (both for me and the pooch): built from the guts of an old AGFA scanner, it fires tennis balls for your dog to catch while sparing your delicate arms. Check out the video demo of the FetchBot after the cut Read The Full Story

Samsung announces World’s Smallest color laser printer

Chris Davies, Apr 29th 2008 Discuss [0]

Samsung have announced two compact color laser printers, one of which is apparently the "world's smallest" while the other trades off size to gain a flatbed scanner.

In numbers, that works out to 2,400 x 600 dpi maximum resolution, 16ppm black prints and 4ppm color prints, with 32MB of internal memory. All that with just 45dB noise output. Read The Full Story
