Cardscan business card scanner

I just bought a new "toy".

If you haven’t seen this before, it’s a scanner that can scan all your business cards and you can export them to Outlook or ACT. The other thing is you can import them to your Palm, Blackberry, or your cell phone.

I just picked one up yesterday and hooked it up this morning. I was skeptical on if it would really work or not, well it works. I looked at them a couple of years ago and decided to pass.

I have 3 Rolodex’s full back to back of business cards and trying to get them off my desk. So far I have scanned about 300 cards and it only took about 25 minutes.

Can you export several or do you have to export the whole shlemiel into your PDA?

Yes. You can pick and choose what contacts to export. You can also set it up by contractors, distributors, rental companies, manufactures, etc. Just like Outlook

JAmes what brand is it? I have about 14 of those card file portfolios I'd love to move to Outlook.
