Have you ever wished you could just whisk your whiteboard notes into a computer? I saw it done once with a handy device a client pulled out of his briefcase a few years ago. Then I forgot all about it until I stumbled across this.
Introducing Virtual Ink's Mimio. Mimio is a portable device that attaches to a whiteboard and enables you digitally record, copy and print anything you write or draw in that blank space. I'm not very familiar with the market, but am frankly surprised it hasn't taken off faster. Perhaps it's that $799 price tag that they refer to as low-cost on their website.
That hefty price tag is probably one reason that Virtual Ink has sponsored a monthly giveaway contest. They are giving away one Mimio free every month to the educator, student or administrator who submits the most creative, innovative idea for how to use the Mimio. Not a bad approach for conducting direct market research and generating innovative ideas pretty cheaply!
