While you can then just import the images into your favorite Mac or iOS apps, Apparent recommends using their free Doxie app to help organize and save your scans. Scans are saved to the card, which can then be read by the SD card reader in most new Macs or by using the SD card readers for iPad. It comes with a 2 GB SD card that is placed into a slot on the back of the device. The device is powered by a generic power brick, but can be outfitted with four rechargeable AA batteries for total portability.Дoxie One comes with a USB cable, but that's not really needed as it's designed to be used without a computer. There's also a nice carrying case to protect the scanner if you take it on the road ($29). The basic Doxie One is made of black and dark gray plastic, but if you're in the mood for color, the company now sells swappable skins in seven Pantone colors ($10). There's a special 'carrier' sleeve if you have old fragile photos to scan, or you can just slide those color images right into the scanner.

It's designed to scan anything from business cards up to A4 or US letter sized sheets.

The scanner measures 10.5 inches wide by 1.7 inches high by 2.2 inches deep, and weighs just 13.6 ounces. The best thing about the Doxie scanners is their small size.

The Doxie One ($149) is a portable scanner that works with Macs and iPads, and you'll have a chance to win one with a pack of fun accessories at the end of this review. We've followed Apparent's Doxie scanners since their infancy, and the company has done a fantastic job of working to bring the reality of the paperless office to millions of Mac owners.
