Re: Anybody have experience with MIMIO Interactive?

What was the ballpark pricing? Anywhere near the $600 mark that the
Mimio claims?=20

FYI

Check out the Eno by Polyvision. I just installed three and will be
installing more. No electronics in the board because it uses a
Bluetooth stylus. The board can take a sharpie and then wipe
clean...the demo included holding a lighter to it. I tried the Hitachi
Starboard and it did not go well because you cannot put up a huge
projection surface on the teaching wall and not let teachers write on
it. You need to allow teachers to transition to digital ink...not jump
out of an airplane to a desert with an oasis somewhere to find. If they
don't find the oasis, they end up face down in the sand.

The simplicity of the Eno, open software architecture, ability to hang
it anywhere and use small slates, as well as hang it magnetically on an
existing whiteboard makes it a great tool. The stylus gives very good
granularity on the board when writing.

Cheers,

We have a couple installed here on campus as a cheaper alternative to
smartboard as well. The flexibility it provides in terms of its
portability is a great feature. It can be shared and/or removed from the
board. I ditto the plus side of having access to the whiteboard as just
that when the mimio is not in use. That is a huge drawback to the
smartboard .

I've got a salesman coming in today and would like to know more from an
implementation perspective than sales :)

Thanks,
