Everyone always bashes Ohio and how we have nothing there but LeBron. But I found something that makes me pround to be from Ohio. A small company(Kent Display, Inc.) in Kent, Ohio has come up with a small device named the Boogie Board, that can be used for taking notes. I know it kinda sounds like the iPad but it is really nothing like it. The only thing this device does is take notes. It uses an LCD screen and pen and the user can take notes on it.
The company mistakenly came up with this product it was an experiment gone wrong. But it turned out to be pretty successful. It was released a week before the iPad and has been sold out every since. It is sold out on Amazon and I think the only place to get one is in Ohio. I think it's a good idea that they came up with. It makes me appreciate the little companies existing, just trying to get that big break.
The only thing that I worry about with this product is that people are buying it hoping that it does what the iPad does and will later be upset when they find out all it does is take notes. It's said to be really small for convenience. I wish I could home and see one in action. After Kent Display, Inc. catches up with all of it's back order product I hope they invest in improving this product, because I see it as being very successful in the future.
Pretty cool Jenelle, that is a great device. However, it doesn't change how I feel about Ohio. LOL
ReplyDeleteBeing a fellow Ohioan I am also proud of being from Ohio and being a "witness".But there are more things than just Lebron, this idea is great and i think it has the opportunity to develop even bigger. I hope people will take it for what it is and not hope it does things like the ipad, but i see being a great product for students and business people that are meetings majority of the time. It will be interesting to see how this company expands or just stays how it is.
