    I saw someone using this on an aircraft. USB power/interface, and she was entering business cards and expense documents. Worked fine, but I forgot the name and haven't seen it around. This is definitely "it" - and the price is compelling.

    IN for one, and thanks Ben.

    These types of scanners are very useful for digitizing important documents, receipts, statements, etc. If you need something for travel this looks pretty good. Personally I don't fly often (and if I do, I don't need to scan while doing it), and I opted for a FujiFilm ScanSnap. It's quite a bit more expensive, but features an automatic feeder (have used it to scan 20-30 page documents), scans both sides of a page in one pass, and has a fairly small footprint. The only downside is that it only scans to PDF.

    Well, the manual from http://download.geniusnet.com/manual/scanner/SF600-E.pdf is not very clear as to what output formats it supports. The manual is dated 2004 and Genius does not have a "scanner" category on their Products page which leads me to think that this is maybe a discontinued product, or maybe they have a poorly designed web page. Certainly a cheaper alternative to the Xerox Xtravel-Scan at NewEgg for $110.
