Flip-Pal™ Mobile Scanning on sale

I had thought I had seen everything when it comes to scanners but the FlipPal Mobile scanner is fascinating and fun.  The special "stitching" software makes the nearly impossible task of scanning full page documents with a scanner that is only 1/3 the size of the typical page very simple.  

The Flip as the Flip-Pal company has coined its mini star is a mini scanner.  As you can see, it looks like a micro version of a flat bed scanner with a see through bottom.  If you have not seen The FlipPal in action watch the short video here. 

The "stitching" makes up for the smaller scanning area.  It works like a charm also.  You can run the scanner over a large document one part at at time.  For example, if you will need 4 separate scans to capture a picture on the wall, just scan it 4 times by imagining the pictures divided in to four squares.   You then scan one "box" at a time to cover the entire picture.  

After this you get to see the magic of The FlipPal software.  I still can't believe it works.  My first reaction was that this was a cute scanner but it is basically useless unless you intend on scanning post cards.  However, FlipPal blew me away when the software takes all 4 separate scans and creates one larger seamless document  that will be viewable on your computer.  You can then print, email, copy and edit the picture or document just like any other scan on your PC or laptop. 

The FlipPal is definitely worth the money, I would imagine the software alone could be sold for nearly the price of the scanner.  You can buy The FlipPal for under $150.  

Compare the prices of The Flip, to Vupoint Magic Wand Scanner, or TryNeat with Neatreceipts and NeatDesk.  The Flip-Pal falls right in the middle and is not over priced.  Definitely a 10.
