There are two types of scanners in this world

Those that work and those that don’t. Wait. No, I’m thinking of printers. Let me try again. There are two types of scanners in this world: Fujitsu ScanSnap and Doxie.

Apparently others are available and that’s nice but you want one of these. If you can afford it, go the Fujitsu route. I won’t say those are more expensive because I believe the price is only part of that calculation: an item that cost a lot of money but you use is not expensive. Not compared to an item that’s cheap but you never use it.

But Fujitsu ScanSnap scanners cost more than many and enough so that I don’t have one. It is on my budget list for a particular project, though.

Instead, I have a Doxie. Cheaper, lighter, slower, but so handy. And now the Doxie company has brought out something new:

We’re extremely excited to announce two brand-new Doxie Go models this week – Doxie Go Plus and Doxie Go Wi-Fi.

First, about the new Doxie: building on our best-selling flagship portable scanner, Doxie Go, both new models deliver 3x the battery life, higher quality images, one minute setup, the ability to charge and scan at the same time via wall power, and the latest apps.

What we’re most excited about is Doxie Go Wi-Fi. On top of the aforementioned features Doxie Go Wi-Fi also has built-in Wi-Fi for syncing to Mac, PC, iPhone, & iPad (no third-party SD cards or helper apps needed), a native Doxie iOS app for iPhone and iPad, an open developer API (available next quarter), and 4x the memory capacity with Smart Memory™ (store up to 1,800 documents before needing to sync).

Hi: Your Doxie Go Wi-Fi upgrade voucher – email from Paul Scandairato, Doxie (25 November 2014)

Nicely, this came in an email because so did a voucher to let me upgrade to the new Doxie for a pretty considerable discount. Whether you have a Doxie already and so qualify for this or you don’t and you’re just looking for a good speaker, take a gander at the Doxie site.
