Chris, I agree -- double drat. But then I'm sure others like OmniPage will push to get a camera-based version and there are lots of camera vendors out there. Or we hit on FS to create drivers for other scanning products. That should be an incentive for them, as they would sell a lot more cameras to the mainstream market. I'm really surprised they haven't already started working on it.

Honestly, it sounds like a camera or dual camera solution is the future for scanning. Drastically less moving parts and much faster to boot. PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
