Don't leave home without the flip pal portable scanner

The Flip Pal portable scanner is something everyone should have in there back pack.  If you are traveling the world the flip pal can do many things your camera can not do and it will allow you to easily scan things up close and personal that would just not look right in pictures.

The Flip Pal also scans pictures right in there frame and the stiching software allows for multiple scans of an object to be "stitched back together to form one full size document.  This is necessary because the Flip Pal is small enough to put in your purse.  It does not have the capacity to scan full page documents in one swipe.  However the software that Couragent uses is exellent.  The stiching capability is the final detail needed to make this amazing scanner a work of art. 

The Flip-Pal has a bright future and for under 150 you can't go wrong.  Just give it a try and see if you feel the same way.

The company sees the Flip-Pal as something photo hobbyists and scrapbookers would appreciate. It can scan photos up to 4 by 6 inches at a resolution of 600 dots per inch. Users can scan photos as they would on a normal flatbed, but they also have the option to remove the lid and bring the scanner to photos — something that’s particularly useful for fragile and older photos. The company calls this technique “flip-and-scan.”

The Capture-ID is larger than the Flip-Pal, and more suited to document scanning. About the size of a netbook, it can scan images up to 5.5 by 7.5 inches, save them in PDF and JPEG formats. A larger version of the device, dubbed the Capture-Page, offers a 8.5-by-11.4-inch scanning area for letter-sized pages. Both devices are capable of scanning close to the binding of a book, a feature dubbed “scan-into-binding” by the company.

All of Rocky Mountain Venture’s products use SD memory cards. They’re also compatible with Eye-Fi SD cards, which add GPS information to photos and allow users to wirelessly sync files to their computers.

Rocky Mountain Ventures is competing with current scanning heavyweights like HP, Epson, and Brother — but its scanners remain unique as mobile solutions. Its innovation have landed two patents, with three more pending.

The Rocky Mountain, Colorado company was founded by entrepreneur Gordon Nuttall in 2009. It has raised $225,000 from Colorado residents.

Capture Id From Couragent. Could this be better than Flip Pal ?

                                            

The Flip Pal Carry Case

The Capture-ID™ mobile scanner is wireless, accurate, and reliable for digital capture of documents and identity information away from the desk.  This saves time, improves productivity, and reduces the risk and cost of handling paper.

Paralegals, insurance agents, realtors, and others can scan documents at their client's site when a copier is unavailable and take it with them immediately.  

Security, medical offices, hotel registration, public events (concerts, sports), and others can scan small-format personal identification such as business cards, drivers' licenses, passports, insurance cards, and notes that are difficult with a slide, wand, or sheet-feed style of scanner.
This provides retention, archive, search/retrieval, and verification on a server or 'in the cloud' rather than relying on visual comparison or paper

Better than desktop scanners, All-in-One printers, or copiers, the Capture-ID™ mobile scanner:

• Reliably and accurately captures documents while away from the desk.  No computer is required to scan.

Better than portable sheet-feed and wand scanners, the Capture-ID™ mobile scanner:

• Scan-in-binding technology.  Patent pending. Reduces the distortion and strain on the binding typical of copiers and other scanners by scanning close into the inside edge of a bound document or book.
• Wireless.  Instant transfer of scan with geotagged data to a PC, server, and/or the 'cloud' with its wireless accessory
• Versatile. Stitches multiple scans to any size into larger output, retaining high detail, with its stitching firmware and software
• Mobile.  Lightweight, Compact and reliable
• Reduces risk of a incomplete scan and provides ease of use with previewing on its LCD
