Unbelievable what they have for iPads.
Have you seen the scales that can connect to your iPad so you can keep track of your weight.
Or blood pressure cuff thingy to keep track of your blood pressure.
Who knows what else there will be in a years time. Can't keep up with all this technology. :)

$189.00 is the cheapest I've found so far...I will wait though, there's bound to be cheaper versions soon.

They look good Maddie but do you really want to print Much? I try and store everything in Evernote. Now so there's no need to print out.

When I first saw that Maddy, I thought it was printing out the photo off the iPad.  Thought, wow, printers are getting so small these days.  ;D

It doesn't print, just scans to the iPad, and I can print off from my wireless printer if I want to.
My other computer needs serious updating, so it takes forever to "warm up" before I use it.  I only use that one for our invoicing, so copying magazine recipes to iPad means I can turf the growing collection of mags.

If you want to scan things to your iPad or iPhone there is an app (of course!) called jotnot pro which uses the camera as a scanner. I expect there are other apps which do the same job. Worth a go!

That app sounds good.

Of course there would be an app  ;) 
For me, I don't think the iPad camera is that clear...and prefer to use my camera instead.
