E Ink Clipboards: Kindle For Coaches?

You’ve got to love the E Ink technology. Surely, it hasn’t reached its full potential, but as it is, E Ink still has many applications other than the one most people have heard about (Kindle). E Ink Electronic Coach Playboard is a nice concept that shows where Kindle is headed as well. Unlike Kindle, this devices comes with a touchscreen screen that lets coaches draw their next plan on their board. So they no longer need a small whiteboard to get the job done. But what’s more exciting about this playboard is the fact that it comes loaded with information for multiple sports. That means whether you are a soccer coach, a basketball coach, or both, you can use this playboard to draw up your plans and guide your team.

What I like about this board is the fact that you can replay the instructions for your players until they understand what you have in mind. Besides, the battery life is expected to be decent as well. E Ink has been essential to Amazon Kindle’s success, and it will continue to be to new, innovative gadgets. You don’t have to be an e-book manufacturer to get the most out of E-ink. There are plenty of other gadgets that can be developed using E Ink technology. Electronic Coach Playboard just happens to be one of the most fun concepts around.

Your take: if you were to design an E Ink based gadget, what would it be?
