Technology is off the hook. I love seeing what people are able to come up with these days. I especially love it when I come across something that is not only technologically great but finctional as well. And that is exactly what the B Scanner is. Created by Sungwoo Park and Bongkun Shin (amazing name by the way), the B Scanner makes the whole transaction of swapping and storing business cards much easier.

Business cards have become less of a way to disseminate contact information and more about brand extension, so it makes no sense to spend so much money on them only to be thrown out after someone transcribes all the relevant information into an address book. The B-Scanner helps with both aspects.

Just slide in any standard size card and an image capture is kept in memory. You sort and thumb thru each card via a jog dial and everything shows up beautifully on an OLED screen, sharp enough for small text.

Apparently this is still a concept, but I would definitely be up for giving it a try. More images after the jump.
