Put it!]]>Oct 2nd 2007 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/
I put the card. Now what?]]>Oct 2nd 2007 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/Oct 2nd 2007 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/Oct 2nd 2007 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/Oct 2nd 2007 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/Oct 2nd 2007 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/
Next they'll be coming up with some gizmo for digitizing the sounds made when caveman chums turn up and bash their addresses out with sticks on a lump of rock.

Stop living in the past people!]]>Oct 2nd 2007 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/It has nothing to do with printing business cards.
In fact, it digitizes the information on the card.
Effectively not "living in the past".]]>Oct 2nd 2007 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/I think you are missing the point. Imagine this as the screen on your smartphone, iphone..etc. Now you have the added feature of being able to scan business cards in and what ever other surface type apps they come up with. Sounds pretty neat. ]]>Oct 2nd 2007 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/
Remember: Don't feed the trolls. They tend to follow you home. If they do they tend to scratch at your back door and poop in the yard.]]>Oct 2nd 2007 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/
Why are people still giving me bits of paper that I need to scan in? i.e. This is a bit of technology that I would need because _other people_ are still living in the past. They should shape up - buy some tech.

Hmm. In fact maybe it should print as well. Because the aforementioned neanderthal handing me bits of dead tree with his address on would probably want a similar bit of dead tree back from me with my address on it. No point me trying to bluetooth it directly into his skull.

Matt. (trolling for fun and profit since '72)

p.s. The other surface type apps. are a cool idea though.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 4:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/Oct 2nd 2007 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/Oct 2nd 2007 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/Oct 2nd 2007 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/Oct 2nd 2007 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_Navigator

i think sharp made the first psp screens btw, and these are the same size and resolution... strange? NO ITS REALITY! any psp2 would most likely be backwards compatible.

yay i win]]>Oct 2nd 2007 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/Oct 2nd 2007 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/
Also, what is the power usage for the scanning?]]>Oct 2nd 2007 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/02/sharp-shows-off-multi-touch-optical-scanning-portable-lcd/They were right all along!

pinky to blue... index to red... thumb to yellow...

But in all seriousness, this would rock.
