That would be a lot of work, but probably something that could be licensed from a business card iPhone app developer.

I don't think the feature is critical give that you can always just hand type all the information from the card into the web app one time and then you're done; but if the feature existed, I'd definitely digitize all my cards into Memengo :)

Tiny strings of text aren't a problem, but pictures might be. I will keep this in mind though, maybe a solution will appear to me after more thinking. (and it's not the first time this has been asked).

Thanks.

It would be nice to be able to take a picture with my phone, than upload it to my memengo wallet. Or say my library card, if I took a picture of the bar code, then I could just scan my phone's picture to check out books.

Just an idea
Dan
