Are there any flatbed scanners out there with support for OS X yet? I need something both for scanning in art and for document management. If there's more than one, I'd want recommendations.

you'd think that scanners, printers, etc would be some of the first things to get support...

All up in your bidness
Some of Canon's current scanners have beta OS X drivers, although they only work in Photoshop and Office (not GraphicConverter). They can also be used in Classic, which works well but is probably not very desirable.
