The ColorMobile Office Parallel Color Scanner is a combination hand-held/motorized/sheet-fed unit designed for use with laptop and notebook PCs. A snap-on feeder module turns it into a sheet-fed scanner for such items as photographs, business cards, checks, credit cards, and receipts. Attach the motor module, and the ColorMobile Office becomes a motorized, hands-free unit that prevents image distortion by mechanically controlling the scanner's speed as it travels over an image. Components include a trackpad attachment that permits scanning of larger images. The scanner ($329; without sheet-feeding capabilities or trackpad, $249) weighs only 32 ounces with all its components and fits easily into a notebook carrying case.
