[nabs-l] Business cards

[Ryan Silveira]

Helga, the CamCard app uses the camera on the phone.  You take a
picture of the business card and it puts the information in the "card
holder" which is like your contacts.  I'm not sure if the app can
integrate with the iPhone contacts app, but it may be able to do so.
