Google's new Jamboard is a massive touch display and accompanying cloud service that's supposed to help business users brainstorm together. Jamboard works like a digital whiteboard, letting users sketch out ideas, attach digital sticky notes, plus bring in content from the web into a single, constantly updating workspace. People can use Jamboard to collaborate both on the 55-inch mega-display of the same name, or using accompanying tablet and smartphone apps for iOS and Android.
The hardware is slickly designed, and Google's functionality feels like it could be a major enhancement over analog brainstorming. But Google is asking companies to make a big commitment to Jamboard. The company isn't revealing final pricing for the appliance yet, but expects its hardware to cost less than $6,000 at release. That means a rollout of multiple Jamboards in an organization will likely cost tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. Jamboard also supports technology that will turn handwriting drawn on the screen into text, and convert drawn shapes into digital ones. It's a way to dress up the work that people are doing on the device.
