Video Review:
I saw the info on this in August at a Genealogy conference and wanted one immediately. I finally talked myself into waiting to see what the reviews were and all the "kinks" were worked out. All the reviews I read, both here and in other places were nothing but positive so I decided to take the plunge!
I LOVE that the Flip-Pal is ready to go right out of the box! I was scanning within a minute of opening the package! I had 3 albums of pictures that I had attempted to scan at various times over the past couple of years but gave up because it was SO TIME CONSUMING--take them out of the album, line them up on the scanner (3-4 at a time), wait for them to scan, open the file up in Photoshop, align them properly, crop, name and save them, rinse and repeat! UGH! With the Flip-Pal, ALL I had to do was take off the cover, flip the scanner over onto the album, hit the button, and repeat for the next picture!

The included USB adapter was a lifesaver I didn't even know I needed! Since I mainly shoot with an SLR that takes Compact Flash cards, I had forgotten that my SD card reader had stopped working. So after scanning all of my albums I went to load the pictures onto the computer and realized that I couldn't--I didn't have a working reader. JUST before I panicked, I suddenly remembered the little usb drive that I had so casually tossed aside when I opened the Flip-Pal--DUH! I was back in business in no time!
I have used the stitch program on a 16x20 photograph that I scanned and it worked EXACTLY as promised! Since I have Photoshop, I will probably use its stitch function instead, but its nice to know that the included program works well (and I can use it when I'm away from home on someone else's computer).
I have "sold" 3 of these to friends and family already and will continue to toot the Flip-Pal horn! I'm a shopper and this is my BEST PURCHASE in quite awhile! I hope they make a larger version soon!
