Product Description:
This powerful, compact, lightweight 600-dpi color scanner is combined with dynamic software to provide exceptional quality scanning and easy management of documents and photos.

Amazon.com Product Description:
Weighing in at less than 12 ounces and measuring just 11 inches wide, the Pentax DSmobile lets you carry around all you need to scan everything from a business card to an 8.5 by 14 inch document. The scanner draws power from its USB interface so no clunky AC adapter is needed. Bring it along with you and you can instantly transmit a printed page via email, fax, or the web. The scanner has a hardware optical resolution of 300 dpi and the included OCR software automatically converts the document to editable text.
The scanner uses a Contact Image Sensor (CIS) to achieve its smaller volume and lighter weight, and also requires less power consumption and lower maintenance than a traditional CCD. The DSmobile has few moving parts, which promotes high reliability and nearly maintenance-free operation. It consumes only 0.2 watt of power in standby mode and a maximum of 2.2 watts of power when scanning. The Pentax DSmobile 600 Scanner is compatible with Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. It is backed by a 1-year warranty.

- Poor quality
I would have given this product a zero. The Mac driver does not work. It scans blank copies. I tried it with a PC and the scan quality was very poor. I get better quality with my flat bed Canon scanner. Do not buy it.
Rating: - Great little scanner
This scanner is outstanding for what it's intended to do...travel. No power cord; just the USB, sharp image, couldn't ask for more. I'm very pleased.
Rating: - Good portable scanner
This scanner is perfect for scanning documents and converting them to PDF.Scanning photos is a little more difficult.The maximum resolution is 600 DPI and the scanner is susceptible to dust collecting on the scanning mechanism causing colored streaks to appear in the photo.Besides this hindrance, photo scanning is sped up considerably over a conventional flat bed scanner.It does take some time to figure out how to efficiently crop the photos- the included software does not automatically crop ...

Rating: - Great portable scanner
It does exactly what it's made for. Good photo scans and .pdf output. It's not a flatbed so I didn't expect professional quality photo scans but it's great for scanning printed photographs developed at a drug store (photo developing shop) which usually aren't that sharp coming from our 35mm point n shoot camera.
