Previously on the list I've seen discussion of this iPhone accessory, some of 
it very supportive and some almost totally dismissive.  Having seen a demo of 
it earlier today I'd say that the improved design and manufacture makes it a 
robust item which looks as though it would last and which performs the job of 
supporting the iPhone when using OCR apps perfectly well.  It undoubtedly 
appears pricey for what it is and there's absolutely no doubt that if it was 
being produced in volume it would retail for much less than its current price.  
However, I'm buying one and have also added Prizmo to the apps on my iPhone.  
This morning the two performing together produced impressive results including 
a very accurate scan and reading of the double pages of a book.
