Almost as svelte as the gadget it is built to complement, the iConvert scanner for the iPad as well as iPad 2 can now be pre-ordered from Brookstone. Suitable for home as well as business users in possession of the Apple slate, this device is expected to begin shipping by early next month.
Understanding that digitized documents not just reduce users’ load but also help preserve content for a longer period of time and in a better manner, the gadget converts papers into JPEG images. These files are stored in the picture folder of the iPad, which are easily accessible for owners to mail, save or even delete them.
The peripheral is convenient to carry around especially with the tablet, and accepts all documents that range from 2 to 8.5 inches, fed in by users through the adjustable front feeder. These documents are then scanned in high resolution 300dpi to produce fairly clear image files.
Reported by Cult of Mac, all that the device needs apart from the iPad and to-be-scanned papers is an application that can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. The software makes the machine compatible with the slate and readily useable as soon as it is connected to the iPad. With this, users can scan content like photos, genealogy records, artworks, recipes, notes, business cards, receipts, and more.
The iConvert scanner for iPad price on Brookstone is $149.99 (approx. Rs. 7,540). Additional one or two-year replacement plan can be purchased at $14.99 (approx. Rs. 750) and $19.99 (approx. Rs. 1,000), respectively. It is expected to start shipping by February 1.
