This HP miniature business card scanner comes in handy for those on frequent business trips - just feed the newly received card into the miniature scanner to transfer a digital representation to the computer via built-in optical recognition technology. The information can even be imported directly into Outlook for easier data management. These black and white scanners cost $70 a pop from USB Geek and comes with a cable, software, and a carrying case. More specs after the jump.
