The days of having multiple stacks of business cards are over. The new B-scanner is a little bit bigger than an actual business card. You slide your business card into the B-scanner and it does the rest. It’ll store and display the data on an OLED screen (which is clear enough for the fine print). You’ll no longer need old school business card holders, because the B-scanner will store all the business cards you’ll need.
If they could perfect this design so you could also read the back side of business cards, if necessary, that would be great. I think this is a great design overall which would keep every businessman more organized. Don’t be surprised if you see something of this nature on shelves across the country.

They have similar stuff like this for years but this one looks ways better. So much easier than keeping a stack on b-cards

I’m not sure why the previous reviewer had so much trouble with the character recognition. Perhaps it is a defect in the particular unit he received. In my case, it did a very fine job recognizing the data on a large variety of business cards. Very fast, and easy to use. I did not activate the integration with Outlook, but did set it up to make the Cardscan contact list available in Outlook, and that worked just fine. My only quibble is with the free online backup that they offer: the fine print tells you that they will email everyone on your contact list periodically to encourage them to join up. This sounds like a great way to lose all your friends, so I didn’t do it.
