Photo lovers, scan over this

Images have become a major part of social networking, but when it comes to getting a scan-quality shot of an old photograph or a drawing with a smartphone, it's quite tricky to achieve.

SnapLite solves the problem — at least for the iPhone — by illuminating the subject with an LED and ensuring the phone is angled just right for a flat shot. It's shaped like a desk lamp and uses the iPhone's camera via an app.
