Plustek MobileOffice D412 portable scanner

Plustek has just launched a USB-powered portable scanner, the £259 MobileOffice D412. I've written a short piece about it for ZDNet's First Take section. It is a similar idea to Kodak's new Scanmate i940, but is smaller and cheaper, although it lacks the cloud integration of the Kodak product. My one beef with it is that the Plustek software looks quite dated and is in serious need of a makeover, but it does the job.
