As a recent owner of the 2710p (due in no small part to this blog, thank you James) I like Presto concept, but the UI looks a little Windows 3.1ish. One thing I thought about doing was using the macro feature of the webcam to snap a picture of a biz card directly in One-Note, but for some reason “Insert…Pictures from Scanner or Camera” doesn’t recognize the 2710p webcam. Anyone try this?

Why are 2D barcodes with all of our contact information not standard in the industry? It wouldn’t cost anything more than current printing and could solve the problem of errors in OCR. To scan a card could just it up to a webcam and move it forward until the computer beeped to say it had read the data.

Where is the standard for this?

If HP would sell the 2710p model with the 64gb ssd here in Sweden I’d buy it right away!

What ever happened to beaming contact info…don’t all of our phones just accept beamed contact files? I realize since I am in the business world as well that business cards are the accepted way to do things at meetings, but at CES, you would think that some cooler technology would be taking place there with all the contacts that you would be making… just a thought, or rant, or whatever..
