Wireless is bliss
I ordered the Doxie Go to make document scanning easier. I have a Canon scanner that is great with photos, but scanning documents and receipts is far to cumbersome. I use Evernote on my iPad so I also ordered the "iPhone/iPad Sync Kit" so I wouldn't need my computer. The sync kit turned out to be a standard Eye-Fi card which means I don't even need the iPad, Eye-Fi can sync directly to Evernote. The setup is easy, the initial battery charge is of course an unwelcome three hour wait when I want to play with my new gadget, but after that it's almost zero configuration. I had to create a Eye-Fi account and enter my Evernote login and then I just plugged in the card and started scanning. Scanning a lot faster than my old scanner, especially since the process is fully automated so I don't have to hook up the scanner, start the scanning software, place the document under the lid, check the settings, make a preview, select the scanning area, do the actual scan and the finally save and handle the resulting file. Now I press the power button and feed the document to the scanner. Done. The scans are jpg files and it's possible to change the quality to suit your needs. I selected the second highest quality and my scans ended up as 650k for an A4 page and 150k for a receipt. No problems for my free Evernote account. The "cute" design is toned down compared to the older doxies so it doesn't really bother me. It's a bit strange to sell office machines using pink hearts and colorful pictures but I guess beige and grey is not for everyone. As a wireless Evernote accessory the Doxie Go exceeded my expectations. The fact that I don't even need a computer (or an iPad) in the scanning process is just fantastic. Fo the next version I would suggest some sort of selector that would allow me to say "this is picture, send it to flickr", "this is a document, send it to Evernote" and so on. Now everything gets sent to Evernote if I don't change the settings and to do that I must open up the computer.
