Do you ever wish you could capture business card info and have it automatically import into your Windows Mobile or Pocket PC device? Now you can, with out using a scanner!

It’s a third party software called World Card Mobile. As long as you have a camera on your device you can capture the business card info and import it into your contacts. All you do is take a picture of the business card, click recognize and Oila!

The technology and OCR is really amazing. It does well with most business cards and have very few errors. You do need a camera on your device.

Requirements:
Windows Mobile 5.0
MS Active Sync 4.1 or higher

Pros:
You can enter business card info immediately and not having to worry about losing the card.
It’s fairly accurate.
It’s fairly reasonable at $24.95.

Cons:
You do need to stay fairly steady when taking the photo.
You can only do one card at a time
Doesn’t work well if you have a double sided business card

Overall though, I love the convenience and cost. I don’t have to lug my CardScan on the road even though it’s a fairly small device. Unless you are doing dozens at a time, this is a great app.
