Business Card Reader for iPhone
Business Card Reader for iPhone is a latest iPhone app from Shape Services that makes your iPhone 3GS capable of reading cards and storing the info in your phone as a new contact.
As far as I know, the first cellphones to have an inbuilt business card reader and scanner were the Nokia E61 and Nokia E71. Their business card reader apps were later ported for other Nokia phones.
