Instead of a traditional scanner that takes forever to trace an entire document, the HoverCam hovers above and takes a high-quality snapshot. The best part? You only need a teeny bit of desk space dedicated to it.

The perfect-for-in-home-use X300 is available for $139.99 (with free shipping!) until February 28th. The USB-powered aluminum device features a 2 megapixel, 150 dpi (1600 x 1200 resolution) scanner. Grab one here.
