Following its successful launch of the first DSmobile, Pentax Technologies Europe recently introduced an updated version of its USB colour scanner with enhanced scanning capabilities. Featuring a compact design (40x49x282mm, 340g) and functional appearance, the Contact Image Sensor (CIS)-based DSmobile 600 ($135) supports rapid scanning and improved capture quality. Compared to its predecessor, it's about 20% smaller, lighter in weight, has lower maintenance costs and fewer chances for mechanical breakdown, and it uses less power.
