KeyScan Develops Keyboard/Scanner Combo

"In what might be perceived as an effort to reduce desk clutter by obsessive-compulsive engineers, KeyScan has unveiled a keyboard with an integrated color scanner (obviously not of the flat-bed variety, although that would make for a much more amusing photo). Additionally functioning as a rudimentary, albeit convenient fax machine and copier, KeyScan also offers a "secure" version of the keyboard, featuring a fingerprint and smart card scanner for easy authentication, provided you are who you say you are."



In recent years, scanners have been built-in to more and more printers. In this unique twist, the scanner has been built into a keyboard. I am just not sure who this is targeted at. Sure it is convenient to have the scanner right there, but if you are using a scanner so often that you need it right there, you would probably benefit more from having a regular flatbed.
