New Windows Marketplace For Mobile Application Works With Smartphone Cameras To Transfer Business Card Information To User's Contacts

Cambridge, MA /PRNewswire/ - DYMO CardScan, a leading provider of contact management solutions, today announced the launch of a mobile application that adds to their 16 year heritage of fast, accurate business card scanning, now more tailored for on-the-go business use.

DYMO CardScan Mobile, whose launch coincides with today's launch of Windows Marketplace for Mobile, allows individuals to instantly transfer contact information from a business card to the correct fields in the contact list of a Windows smartphone after taking a photo of the business card with the smartphone's camera.

"DYMO CardScan makes business cards relevant in the digital age," says Jane Lloyd, Sr. Product Manager, DYMO CardScan. "Our new CardScan Mobile application enables on-the-go Windows smartphone users to easily capture and reference information from their business contacts. We are excited to be included in the list of showcase applications launching with Windows® Marketplace for Mobile and to know that Microsoft considers us to be one of their top applications."

How it Works
To use DYMO CardScan Mobile, after a user has taken a picture of any business card with a Windows®' smartphone camera, CardScan Mobile automatically inserts all information from the card into the proper fields in the phone's contact list. The application works with Windows Mobile OS 6+ smartphones with a 2 mp or higher camera with autofocus. A CardScan business card scanner and software are not required to operate the application.

To purchase and download the DYMO CardScan Mobile application, smartphone users can download the application directly from their Windows smartphone. In the United States, the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price is $14.99.
