This is a great product – a tiny, pocket-sized portable scanner. Where other scanners scan line by line or can only cope with text or graphics but not both, this one swans over a whole page, effortlessly taking in everything in its path. It can digest a whole page of whatever you like in just four seconds. Then connect it to your computer when you’re back at your desk and there’s the page.
The artful gadget by Planon can store up to 100 pages of scanned text and the only design feature that baffles me is that we still insist on making things that are not pens in the shape of pens. Why?

I think the reason it looks like a pen is because people like me will be all "oooh spy stuff"
