“Camera phones are nice to have and fun to use, but let’s be honest: Is there any practical reason to have a camera on a cell phone?

“For the most part, the quality isn’t great, and most people are just snapping random shots of themselves, their kids or their pets. Now, a new company called Scanr wants to provide a more utilitarian use of that camera phone by turning it into a mobile scanning device.

“Scanr is aimed at the mobile professional, such as a real estate agent or sales representative who needs to quickly exchange and process documents and now relies on the retail copying stores.”
