Business Wire, Jan 4, 2006

PALO ALTO, Calif. & LAS VEGAS -- scanR, Inc. today announced scanR Whiteboards for the new Palm(R) Treo(TM) 700w smartphone from Verizon Wireless running on Windows Mobile(R) 5.0. The new application from scanR makes it easy to capture notes written on whiteboards and scan them into useful digital files. Using the 1.3 megapixel camera in the new Treo 700w smartphone, people can take a picture and wirelessly send it to any email address where it is received as a scanned PDF file.(1) This saves time and eliminates the chances of missing key information by providing an exact scan of the original notes from the whiteboard, freeing people to interact more during a meeting and quickly share notes afterward.
