Full Sized Scanner Features In A Pocket Sized Device.
January 28, 2013 
New from Hovercam, the Mini 5. Flatbed scanners are large, but the new Hovercam Mini 5 is small and portable enough to fit into your pocket. Multiple accentuation points allow the Mini 5 to fold into itself for greater portability. Take it with you to use on the go. And it’s fast; it scans a page with a snapshot. Use OCR to automatically build your expense reports and contact lists. It plugs directly into your laptop without USB cable. (But it does come with a cable in case you need one.) As document, receipt or business card scanner, the Mini 5 works better than trying to scan using the camera of a smartphone or tablet. Scan up to 30 items per minute. Instead of using built-in low-res webcam of your computer, the 5 mega-pixel hi-res Mini 5 can show documents clearly during web conferences. Fast refresh rate of 20 frames per second when set @ HD 720P resolution and 15 fps when set @ 5 MP resolution. It also features autofocus & focus lock. The protective carry case converts to optional stand with USB hub allowing connection with USB cable to notebook or desktop computer. The Mini 5 includes Hover Contact software, a digital Rolodex to capture, store, review and manage all of your contacts. Connect with them automatically via Facebook or LinkedIn. $299 retail. Available Spring, 2013.
