Actually, the company is CardScan (if it's the one I'm thinking of), and
they supply a scanner and full OCR software that lets you put the card info
into a local address book, then export it to ACT, Exchange, etc. I own one
and it works well. I suppose the card could be exported to the Palm (et al)
PC address book pretty easily, then synched with the Palm on the next
Hotsync. I haven't seen the latest release of CardScan's software but I'd
expect they support handhelds.
Anyway, the scanner isn't much good without the OCR software. Do you
propose to port that to the Palm?
