Just after we’ve announced Nokia Team Suite 1.0, Nokia silently released yet another free application. This time it’s their Nokia Business Card Reader, which allows you to scan a business card using the phone’s built-in camera and read the information from the card.
According to Darla Mack, who tested this application, at the moment Nokia Business Card Reader is available for the Chinese market and will only work on the N73 (I couldn’t install it on my N93). You can download the app from here.
As a reminder, the similar application comes preinstalled with the Sony Ericsson P990i, and I always thought how great it would be to have it on my Nokia as well.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
