Very convenient!

There are countless moments where a scanner would be useful. Children may want to collect teaching materials or gather text or images from magazines, or you may need to type the details from documents. That's where the LG Scanner Mouse comes in. Just one drag is all it takes to complete scanning. It also features remarkable editing power that can even convert text into Microsoft Word.

After watching the video I was quite impressed. If the idea takes off I'm sure that they could be produced in China for <R100. The idea isn't new though as hand scanners have been available since the 90's but this is a major improvement on those clunky old devices.

Sounds like a good place to stick a scanner.

Wonder when someone will start finding a use for the bottom of a keyboard.
