+1  The last thing I want to do is stand there while some dufus fiddles
with his tablet/phone/laptop/netbook/etc...  Business cards are cheap,
easy, durable, and *fast*.

That is exactly why I use them for.  I stuff them in my pocket and later
on enter them into the computer - at my leisure and without consuming
any of their time.  And I typically enter more information than is on
the business card - if it is work entering at all it is worth
categorizing or relating to a calendar event - which is essentially
impossible to do on a phone anyway.
