Why it matters: Two decades after the Palm Pilot allowed people to beam their contact info to one another, there still isn't a great replacement for the old-fashioned paper business card. There was an app, CardMunch, that scanned in business cards and sent them back in digital form, but it went away after a series of corporate transfers. Now the founder of CardMunch — venture capitalist Manu Kumar — is giving it another try. His company, HiHello is essentially using a similar approach as CardMunch: human-verified card scanning. Details: * HiHello, available for iOS and Android, will offer users 5 free business scan cards per month, while paid options, ranging from $5 to $20 per month, offer more scans. * HiHello launched last year as a means for creating and sharing digital business cards to anyone with a smartphone. History lesson: There was an app, Bump, that let cell phones physically touch to share info, but Google bought it in 2013 and it faded into in obscurity. CardMunch also dealt with it, but it was acquired by LinkedIn, neglected and eventually handed off to Evernote.

Photo: Sergio Flores/Bloomberg via Getty Images Former President Trump, who said last week he would be arrested in a probe into alleged hush money he paid to a porn star, now suggests the case might be dropped by Manhattan's district attorney. * "I think they've already dropped the case," Trump told reporters aboard his plane after appearing at a campaign rally in Waco, Texas. "It's a fake case. Some fake cases, they have absolutely nothing." Why it matters: The possibility Trump could be indicted in New York led him to call for protests last week and has raised the possibility of him being the first presidential candidate to face criminal charges. * Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office has declined to comment on the case, which appears to involve whether Trump violated business accounting laws and campaign finance laws in making the payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, who alleges they had an affair. Zoom in: Trump cited no evidence, but did reiterate his criticism of Michael Cohen, the former Trump lawyer who has testified against the former president before the New York grand jury investigating the case. * It was Trump who had named last Tuesday as the target date for his own arrest. Then the week came and went with no public action by Bragg. * Bragg said in a Friday afternoon memo to his staff, after a threatening letter with a powdery substance was found in his mailroom: "We will continue to apply the law evenly and fairly." * Among those in Trump's entourage traveling to Waco were attorneys Alina Habba and Lindsey Halligan.

Photo: Brandon Bell/Getty Images Former President Trump on Saturday blasted the wide-ranging investigations against him, telling thousands of supporters at a rally in Texas that his personal life "has been turned upside down" because of "prosecutorial misconduct by radical left maniacs." Why it matters: In a rambling speech at the Waco airport, Trump made his most extensive comments yet on the legal jeopardy he faces, starting with the New York probe into alleged hush money he paid to a porn star over an affair she says they had.
