PERSONAL PORTABLE PHOTO SCANNER
FLIP-PAL MOBILE SCANNER
The Flip-Pal mobile scanner offers an innovative design with PC-free scanning, a 4-by-6 flatbed, and a 2GB SD card. It has a neat trick for scanning originals that won't fit under the flatbed lid: Take off the lid, turn over the scanner, and place the glass on top of the item to be scanned. The scan quality is good and as a flatbed scanner it eliminates the risk of mangling photos or delicate documents that's possible with a sheet-fed scanner. Its 1.7-inch LCD lets you preview scans on the spot. —TH
