Mobile document imaging has seen considerable excitement over the past year, as new products intended to facilitate "distributed capture" enter the marketplace. Distributed capture refers to the idea that documents can be scanned from anywhere, at any time.
Did you know there's an iPhone app for mobile document scanning?
Canon, meanwhile, released today a nifty little machine called the FORMULA P-150, a personal document scanning device meant for the "road warrior."
Set to retail for $295, the P-150 seeks to capitalize on the growing realization by road warriors (and their ilk) that scanning documents while on the road and shooting them back to a centralized database is something a road warrior could really get used to.
The accuracy of mobile document scanning, up till now, has not been on par with full-scale office scanners. But with each new product that comes out, mobile document imaging takes another strong step towards the status of the coolest technology most people don't know exists.

What will be hot is when mobile doc imaging is connected to cell phones. I admit this tech may be several years off, but it will make the life of the salesman so much more tolerable.
