Customer Rating:
Summary: Great value, performance
Comment: This scanner is definitely a price performer. There may be some things you'd wish for but remember, this is selling for under $130 so there's gonna be some compromises. For that price point, I think this might be a best value.
The things I like about it:
- very small form factor makes it easy to take along
- runs solely from a USB port - no external power supply
- simplicity
- quality of scans is great for documents
- speed of scans is good (not screaming fast, but good)
The things you may not like about it:
- the included software does the basics but not much else.
if you have other software (PaperPort, etc) you will be happy
- the resolution is not for high-res photo scanning. It does
a good job, but at 600 dpi it is what it is
- no sheet feeder. you have to feed documents one at a time
- single sided scan. you have to reverse and refeed doublesided docs
If the sheet feeder and doublesided scanning are a must-have, don't get this scanner. Get out your wallet and shell out the $300 for a SnapScan. If you can live without those things, you'll get a smaller form factor and save a couple hundred bucks.

Summary: Bad QC from PENTAX, Good Customer Service from Amazon
Comment: We received the product on time. Installed software and hooked up scanner, no joy. Scanner would not feed the paper into it at all. Called Amazon.com and they sent a replacement right away. Have not hooked up replacement yet.
I would not recommend buying this simply because you can get NO support from Pentax. Amazon. com has has been good, but Pentax support stinks.

Summary: Does not work with Linux.
Comment: The product description indicates that this scanner works with Linux. It doesn't at all and I can't find evidence that anyone is working on making it work. Don't buy it if you run Linux (any Linux). It even had some problems working in Windows XP.

Summary: Awesome little scanner for when your in a pinch...
Comment: I bought this scanner for traveling and work related scanning in teh field. As luck would have it I used it the day after I installed it on my computer. It functions well and the scan qulity is very good the only problem I have was getting a business card to feed straight but the software took care of that problem. It scanned the documents I needed and although it a little slow it works great. I am now free...I have a mobile office in my truck...great product, great price.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great product
Comment: I have been using this product for the last several weeks and I have no complaints. The software is great and satisfies all my needs very well.

Editorial Reviews:

This powerful, compact, lightweight 600-dpi color scanner is combined with dynamic software to provide exceptional quality scanning and easy management of documents and photos. The DSmobile 600 is a direct replacement for the DSmobile USB but provides higher resolution, high-speed USB 2.0 interface, and additional software that will enhance and simplify your scanning needs.
