Although I can't recall the last time I needed to utilize a scanner, I believe it's a very handy tool. The typical scanner, however, is made even handier with the Doxie Scanner. An all-in-one portable scanner, it not only scans, but also uploads your scans to social media sites like Flickr and Tumbler.
What's more, the Doxie Scanner automatically adjusts your scans (straightening and cropping) while allowing you to adjust settings such as saturation, contrast and brightness before saving. Both Mac and PC compatible, it is being sold online for $130.
