Vupoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDSWF-ST44T-VP) with WiFi - TEAL/TURQUOISE

I got this for my husband who scans color plates and photos from old anthropology books in his presentions. This little handheld scanner does a great job, makes beautiful copies and is smooth and easy to use, but I am seriously thinking about returning it because the wi-fi feature does not work on either my PC or my iMac, and that was the whole point of getting a wi-fi scanner. Neither computer recognizes it at all. The problem may be with my Cisco valet router which requires entering a code into the device in order to set it up on the router but that cannot be done with this scanner. I will keep trying for a few more days and see if I can get the wi-fi going, but if not, I will have to return it. If you bought a Mercedes Benz and were unable to drive it off the lot because there were no fuel injectors you would be ticked. The fact that there was no memory card included with the scanner is not mentioned at all in the product description, and it cannot be used at all without one. A memory card was mentioned below the product as one of the items often ordered with the scanner, so a more astute buyer might have picked up on that. It did, however, include two AA batteries. Also, the VuPoint website has no information other than product descriptions, so it is useless for the person having problems with the scanner.

Love! So convenient.

I have not used the item, yet. I have never used this item before. I hope it will work to my satisfaction.

I was skeptical. How could that little wand actually scan and do quality copies? Well, I still dont know how but I know it WILL! The design is great - especially for putting in a bag to take with you - very lightweight and compact in size. The first image I scanned was a little odd but the second time, the picture came out perfect. I am SO glad I bought the magic wand! This is the best gadget Ive purchased this year!!!

Great product. I used it to scan hundreds of genealogy documents this summer - photos, newspaper articles, archive material.... it was great. It takes a little time to get use to it at first - you should test it out a couple of times first before you take it on the road. I highly recommend it!
