[November 21, 2009] Pandigital Releases One-Touch 5x7 and PhotoLink Personal Photo Scanners Tweet Nov 20, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Pandigital announced the addition of two new portable photo scanners to its line of PhotoLink Scanners. "The new PhotoLink scanners give users the motivation to finally digitize the millions of negatives, slides and print photos they have to enjoy and share them now and with future generations," said Dean Finnegan, CEO and founder, Pandigital. "Since the PhotoLink scanners work with the touch of a single button, without expensive and confusing hardware, they allow customers to quickly and simply preserve images and enjoy memories that would have otherwise been filed away in a photo box, slide projector, or photo album." According to Pandigital, the PhotoLink One-Touch 5x7 Scanner (PANSCN04) allows consumers to scan 5x7-inch (or smaller) traditional prints onto a memory card or directly to a PC. To use the PhotoLink One-Touch 5x7 Scanner, users insert a photo into the feed area of the scanner and push the button to begin. The result is a digital replica of the original at 1800x1200 pixels and 600 dpi clarity. The PhotoLink One-Touch 5x7 Scanner can be used right out of the box with no software to install. This new scanner helps customers save and enjoy their favorite memories by scanning their print images to memory cards (SD, MS, MS Pro, MMS, XD) or by using the included USB cable to connect the PhotoLink Scanner via its mini-USB port directly to a computer. A 512MB SD card is included with this scanner. The PhotoLink Personal Photo Scanner works similar to the PhotoLink One-Touch 5x7 Scanner by placing a slide, 35mm negative or print photo (4x6 or smaller) into the device and pushing a single button. The images can be scanned and transferred directly to a memory card or PC or for instant viewing and transfer onto any digital photo frame, PC, or other device that reads memory cards. This scanner also comes with a 512MB SD card. The PhotoLink Personal Photo Scanner scans images at a high-resolution of 300 dpi, and slides or negatives at an ultra high-resolution of 1200 dpi. It features auto-feed, cropping tools, color balancing and film-type detection, allowing users to select optimum image quality and preview the color image when scanning, unlike other slide and negative scanners that typically only allow previews of the negative image. The PhotoLink One-Touch 5x7 Scanner and PhotoLink Personal Photo Scanner are available exclusively on QVC through December 5. Pandigital develops and markets digital entertainment products. The company recognizes the growing digital lifestyle market as well as the convergence of media such as MP3, digital photos and digital video and is delivering products to the consumer market that provide the latest in technology combined with contemporary style.
