I just tried it on the new iPhone 4 and it works. It beeps when the document is in focus and the camera is steady; best done with two hands unless you've got a very steady hand, and it takes the picture. OCR doesn't take a terribly long time. The quality of lighting in the room is a big deal. When I first scanned I had poor results but then moved to somewhat better lighting and could read the letter in front of me with a fair amount of errors. I'm not after perfection though, just after something that can give me enough information to make heads or tails out of things. I think that if I'm using it with better lighting it will be great.
