Not to mention being the bane of security services everywhere and the next must have gadget for tv spies (and movie heroes) everywhere...

Sure the "use your cameraphone as a scanner" thing has been done for a while now - but I suspect these types of devices will, if they work as promised, give you a much easier to OCR result - i.e. place business card on phone - flip to other side, discard and repeat...

I know I'm looking forward to it... (hopefully they can make these large enough for next gen tablets as well...?
