Interesting here is that the DocuPen RC800 has only 8MB internal memory and yet the features say it will hold up to 100 pages. We did test the RC800 and found that holding 100 pages might be a bit of a stretch. The transfer rate was also very slow for a USB 2.0 rated device. We suggest that when purchasing the RC800 users immediately purchase a 256MB Micro SD card to enable multiple scans without worry. The rechargable lithium ion battery is rated at 100mAh which means you will run out of memory before your battery dies.
