Review summary: When I was asked to look at Fujitsu's new ScanSnap Scanner, the S300, I was a little taken aback. I mean, I wasn't really the scanning type, and like most people I always ask "when would I use it?".

Verdict: It makes scanning an easy thing to do and an extension of your day-to-day life. By making it so convenient it's easy to organize all your data - and reduce your paper consumption - quickly and efficiently

Review summary: While it's not quite as functional as a flatbed, the Fujitsu ScanSnap S300 Portable Scanner is a heck of a lot easier to shove into your briefcase...
