mobile phones@ mobile scanner , really practicle?

Sooner or later, everyone needs a document scanner around the house. It’s practical, and a huge relief for the paranoid.You even don`t need to harshly doing multiple just want to scan let say your important document from your boss.It`s still very rare today people use digital signature for their letter, instead they are more convenient to sign by their own original handwriting. And as for advance environment like IIUM wireless home, users might want to email document or fax it over IP just as fast as possible, without go through scanner box. For this solution, there is one mobile product which really can deliver a reasonable result if you wanna make it as a mobile scanner, Iphone.

Although the iPhone Document Scanner isn’t what you’d think it is (as in not software), it looks like a truly original and accurate solution for the task. Even better, you can download some free .eps (from ponoko) files containing instructions to craft out your own.

With Iphone, you snap photos of your letter or kinda agreement printed on copy paper so you wouldn’t have to worry about losing them. The documents normally came out pretty clear, but it was tough to keep still while taking the pictures. It can be set out to make something that would ensure clean, consistent pictures of documents taken with the iPhone that would be free and easy to make on your own. And so, here you will have .eps files to make your own iPhone document scanner.”

Surely you’ve will found yourself in a situation that require mobile solution, not necessarily as an iPhone owner, but as the owner of a camera-equipped handset. Hence, with a few modifications to the original design, the Document Scanner should fit any phone using a camera. Nevertheless, the actual measurements and the rest of the specs are specifically aimed at iPhone use.

As a Ponoko member you can download the free .eps files of the plans to build your own iPhone Document Scanner. Making an account costs nothing, while the .eps files will be on your desktop in less than a minute.

iPhone owners looking to make even better use of their iPhone’s camera could also look into hacking the Iphone by Daniel Forsythe’s to change the focus of the camera, enabling them to take more accurate close-up shots (off course, if you do that, you will void its warranty).

Hopefully there will be someone out there for mobile maker who really aware on the need of mobile scanner and they really could integrate the real scanner into their mobile.
