I feel the urge for a new toy coming on... ;-)

Maplin have a "pen scanner" for GBP 29.99:

<http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/details.php?CartID=0208031125391456957&
moduleno=25682&modulecode=>

though it has serial interface.

Are there models with Infra-red?  Or USB? At sensible prices? If USB,
the ability to take power that way (rather than from the batteries),
when used at the PC, would be an advantage.

Are these things any good?
