Photo Scanner 1000

Now that digital photography is all the rage, inadvertently devastating the once-upon-a-time instant photo darling known as Polaroid, one can't forget that last millennium's imagery format is still prevalent. I mean, who doesn't have a crate full of Kodak moments up in the attic? Enter the Hewlett Packard Photo Scanner 1000, a mini scanner designed just for pictures, 4 x 6 or smaller.

Scanned photos are automatically optimized for print, e-mail or sharing on the Web via your PC by simply pressing a button. It's bundle with simple yet effective software that allows users to create photo albums and even arrange multiple reprints on a single page for printing (because 8.5 x 11 photo print paper stock is pricey, so you'll want to maximize the spread). The single minded function of the Photo Scanner 1000 limits it appeal to anyone who might have a wider array of scanning needs, but as the one device that can modernize those crates of envelopes of reams of old photos up in the attic, quickly and easily, the 1000 is a beautiful thing.
