PDF scan from mobile

I don’t mean this to be a gadget blog, but sometimes I discover things that impress me and I want to tell people.

Still chuffed with my HTC Magic Android phone, I’ve installed a program that enables me to scan documents with my phone camera and convert them to PDF.

I won’t need this every day, or very often for that matter, but what an amazing tool!

I tested it on a letter, snapped a photo and emailed it to myself as a PDF. The quality was great.

I imagine a few spies during the Cold War would have liked something like this!

For myself, I would have appreciated it while I was researching family history and trawling through documents.

The software costs £9.99 ($14.99 US) or A$17.67.
