New Portable Scanner

If you do a lot of expensive faxing from hotels and airports, a great alternative is a portable scanner. Scanners allow you to scan documents, edit and then email them –sans fax machine. Our favorite new portable scanner is the 10-ounce Visoneer Strobe XP 100. The world’s first USB powered sheet fed scanner, it requires no clunky AC cord as your laptop’s USB port powers it. The scanner instantly turns the documents into editable formatted text for use in almost any PC word processing program. Pages scan in about 10-seconds and you can even enter photos or graphics.
