Portable document scanners that ahead of the curve

 I first published this article on Article Base and want to publish it here also. I hope it is helpful for anyone looking for a mobile document or photo scanner. 
The Two most innovative mobile scanners for the year:  The Flip Pal and the Vupoint Magic Wand Scanner.
Buying a scanner is one of the smartest things you will ever do. If you have any type of paperwork, pictures, documents or receipts you would like to keep safe you will have to get a scanner. The first question you will ask once you consider buying a scanner will be regarding how to buy the right one.
Buying a scanner can be made easy by just take a look at a few web sites and a few options on line. There is no need to let things get so complicated even though there are several scanners on the market and new ones popping up everyday. Why? Because the truth is that their are only a few that will really do the job for you.
Buying a Scanner made simple.
1. Do you want a portable scanner that you can take with you anywhere, make scans with out being tethered to the computer and have the scanner run fully on batteries?
2. Do you want to buy a scanner that is not really mobile but it is small enough to move from place to place but is not capable of making scans unless it is hooked up to the computer?
3. Do you have lots of old photos you would like to scan quickly and easily that are the standard size such as a 4×6 print?
4. Do you want to buy a scanner that is less than $200, less that $150, less than $100? Or can you afford to spend close to $400 to make sure you get the exact scanner that is right for you?
Now that you have answered these questions you will need to do a little more research. This is the most important part of buying a scanner in order to ensure you do not make a purchase that will prove to be no help in organizing and eliminating your piles of paper work.
Here are the best options for you.
The Flip-pal Mobile Scanner is the most versatile of all scanners, can scan small or large objects, can be run on batteries, can use USB stick to store scans for later transfer to the computer. You will not be disappointed when buying this scanner because it has so many uses. It can scan pictures in the frame and still no the wall. It also needs no connection to the computer to make scans.
It is a very small device but the powerful stitching software allows you to piece together two or more smaller scans to create a large seamless document. It is pretty cool.
Another option when buying a scanner that is truly mobile is the Vupoint Magic Wand Scanner.  This is the smallest of all the devices but it easily scans full size sheets of paper and scan scan longer items but not wider items.  You use the Magic Wand just as you might guess.  You wave the scanner or sweep it over the document to be scanned the scan is saved to the micro disk.  It is great for scanning pages out of books, magazines and receipts and operates fully on batteries with no need to be attached to a computer to make scans.  This scanner is perfect for taking with you in the car or on a business trip.
Vupoint Magic Wand Scanner
The Vupoint Magic Wand Scanner is also now available with Wireless Blue Tooth Capacity so transferring scans to your computer could not be any easier.   It is the best price of all the scanners on the market today as well.  You can buy a scanner from Vupoint that is the basic model for under $90 in many locations.  I have had a Vupoint Scanner for over year and I love it.  It is a great deal for the money.

The Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner has many advantages over competition

The Flip-Pal Mobile Photo and Document Scanner
There is not much competition for the the Flip-Pal Scanner because there are nothing available in a portable or mobile scanner that compares.  Consider the multiple patented features that come standard on the Flip-Pal and you will be eliminating most competitors.  The only truly mobile scanner that I would actually consider mobile is the Vupoint Magic Wand Scanner.  All the other so called portable scanners can not work unless they are tethered to the computer with a USB cord. How scanner be called portable when you have to attach to the computer.  I can see that it is easier to move from place to place but without the ability function away from the computer I would not consider it a mobile scanning option. 

The Flip-Pal is fully battery powered and can be operated anywhere as long as the batteries have power.   The patented Flip and Scan technology allows you to see through the scanner so you can scan that remain on the wall.  The Flip-Pal can even make a very clear scan of a picture that is framed.  You will never have to touch the picture or remove it from the frame and risk damage.  Your old family photos will be able to remain safe and sound in their frame while also being recorded digitally to keep a copy on your computer. 

The Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner has the capacity to scan large documents that no sheet fed scanner or no flat bed scanner can do because of the amazing stitching software that comes with the creative suite package.  You can take multiple partial scans of a document and have the software "stitch" it back together for you into one seamless document.  All you have to do is crop the edges and you be amazed at the quality. 

The Flip-Pal is the perfect size and it easily fits in your brief case.  It has the ability to be used with a USB stick or Micro disk so you can scan almost anything at anytime.  If you are at the store, home or the office you can scan anything you will need to reference later. 

Don't miss out on the holiday season deals that may allow discounted shipping and handling.  The Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner is the perfect present for a Merry Christmas.

Flip Pal: Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner by Couragent Started due to a Layoff

 Here is a link to a great story on how the Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner from Couragent got off the ground.  The founder and CEO was laid off from HP and decided that a Flip-Pal scanner with a creative suite to appeal to the arts and crafts community would be his next move rather than forced retirement.
