Dear list: I was reading about an ultrasound probe that can be attached to an iphone and it got me thinking. Could Sane be compiled to run on a smartphone? A mobile professional could then hook up a small usb powered scanner to scan in receipts.
I was thinking that a linux powered cell phone like the Android G1 or the Palm Pre might be the easiest to do, but the iphone and blackberries have a bigger market. One would have to McIver a customized usb cable. The sane package would have to be compiled along with its dependencies. Eventually, a GUI frontend would need to be built. Could this be done? Would anyone be impressed if it were? I have a couple of extra Ambir TravelScan 662's that I could contribute, if someone is interested. (I am not a coder). Jack McGill
