Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 Named as Finalist in Last Gadget Standing Award at CES 2011

Jan. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Sunnyvale, CA — Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, today announced that the company’s new ScanSnap S1100 scanner was named a finalist in the 2011 Last Gadget Standing Awards. This award, hosted by Technologizer and Living in Digital Times, is an annual competition designed to spotlight the hottest of the thousands of new products showcased each year at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The ScanSnap S1100 scanner, unveiled at CES earlier this month and selected by judges from over 200 submissions, is one of the world’s smallest document scanners. It is designed with many of the same advanced functionality and productivity features of its larger, award-winning ScanSnap predecessors.

The new ultra-portable ScanSnap S1100, weighing just over 12 ounces, easily fits into a briefcase or purse and digitizes your documents anywhere, and at any time. The scanner, designed for use with a PC or Mac, utilizes its innovative paper path system and fast front-side color scanning functionality to quickly scan anything from contracts and long receipts to business cards and plastic IDs. For complete flexibility and productivity at home or on the go, the ScanSnap S1100 is powered by a single USB cable, converts scanned data into searchable PDF files and even allows you to quickly transform your paperwork into editable Word and Excel files. Additionally, the ScanSnap S1100 enables you to scan documents directly to Evernote® and Google Docs™ cloud services, making paperwork and photos easy to store, share and access from just about anywhere.

The 10 finalists were selected by a panel of journalists including Robin Raskin, founder of Living in Digital Times, Harry McCracken, founder and editor, Technologizer, John Biggs, author and consultant, Patrick Houston, editorial director, NetShelter, Michael Miller, senior vice president, Ziff Brothers Investments, Melissa Perenson, reporter, PC World, Avram Piltch, editorial director, LAPTOP Magazine, Peter Rojas, co-founder, gdgt.com, Joanna Stern, editor Engadget, Steve Wildstrom, blogger, consultant, and Dave Zatz, editor, Zatz Not Funny.
