You can take photos of the cards (even Macbook isight camera) or use a regular scanner, then it does OCR and all the text is searchable within the app. I take pics of mine and have a "notebook" in the app of biz cards. Mac, iPhone, Web, Blackberry and PC versions, plus lots of other useful things about it, and the usability is pretty good. 8-) http://www.evernote.com/ And no, I don't work there... 8-) Best of luck!
