I would like to have a interface for scanner and cameras.
For scanners there is a standard interface called Twain to get scanned images. There should be no technological problem to implement this.
For cameras I'm not sure if there is a standard interface. My Win XP SP2 has a build in interface which allowed me to download pictures from a Canon EOS 20D without installing any drivers. Maybe the camera was just simulating a scanner.
This would simplify my workflow because sometimes I have to document and comment handwritten material which is either scanned when having some paper or photos from a scetch board*.
*Don't know how it's called in english. I mean those boards mounted on the wall where you can write on and when you are ready you wipe it out after taking a photo of it.
