Scrapbooking in the New Millennium Made Easier with Pandigital's Portable Scanner

by John Lentz Jr. on Mon, 2008-11-24 13:06

For as long as the camera has been a household item, matriarchs and custodians of family memories have sought to preserve their precious family pictures for posterity, often through the scrapbook. Many homes throughout America likely have entire shelves dedicated to these photo albums, and, as fun as they may be to examine on a rainy day, are probably not an efficient use of space. Furthermore, a picture can only survive so much air exposure and so many handlings before it begins to deteriorate.

This is where Pandigital’s PhotoLink Photo Scanner becomes invaluable. Handheld and portable, this small scanner can take regular size (4”x6”) pictures and scan them directly onto a convenient flash media card. This card is compatible with digital photo frames, which allows a simple two step process for getting old family pictures out of scrapbooks and onto digital frames. If you want to be able to view and arrange your pictures in a more familiar way, the scanner also allows you to get those pictures onto a PC at a very high 1800x1200 resolution. This, of course, allows for online uploading and sharing of pictures without regards to geographic limitations through the wonders of the Internet.

At $100, the Pandigital Portable Scanner won’t break the bank, and is sure to make a good gift for the scrapbooker in your family.
