Boogie Board Jot 4.5 LCD eWriter lets your kids go wild

What does it take these days to capture the attention of your young ones? Well, it does seem as though you will need something that is louder and brighter, with most probably some battery power required to deliver the amount of multimedia capability that can capture the imagination of the masses. Pen and paper? That is pretty much an archaic idea by now, but if you want to introduce them to the joys of drawing and doodling without having to cut down any more trees, then the £19.99 Boogie Board Jot 4.5 LCD eWriter would fit the bill nicely.

The Boogie Board Jot 4.5 LCD eWriter would arrive in a choice of blue, pink and red shades, making it an eco-friendly electronic alternative to paper. Not only that, since it is meant to be used by kids, it is no surprise then, to see it arrive with a shatter-proof Reflex LCD screen. Not only that, Boogie Board claims that it is good for up to 50,000 erases, which roughly translates to approximately 7 to 10 years on average, which by then your little one would have outgrown it a long time ago. Each Boogie Board Jot 4.5 LCD eWriter would come with a stylus that is stashed away on the side for easy portability.

Boogie Board Jot Paperless LCD Tablet

Posted in: Today's Chili

Forget about Post It notes and fridge magnets that you leave at home, nobody in the family seem to be as interested in them as you are. Perhaps if you were to introduce to the tablet generation something that jives with them, they might actually take the trouble and time to see just what you have jotted down. Enter the £39.99 Boogie Board Jot Paperless LCD Tablet, where it will continue where its predecessors left off by looking far more sleek and professional. Of course, since this is a revised version of older technology, do expect your fair share of additions into the mix.

The stylus on the Boogie Board Jot Paperless LCD Tablet has been integrated for easier storage, and not only that, it doubles up as a stand. The magnetized back-plate allows it to hang happily on the fridge, making it the ideal tool to write down your shopping list or a love message to the missus so that she is greeted by some tender words when she arrives home. With 8.5” of writing real estate, this battery operated device is simple to “reset”, where pressing a button will ensure whatever was written will disappear as the screen starts from a clean slate all over again.

Boogie Board Jot eWriting pad hands-on (video)

Posted in: Today's Chili

It’s been quite some time since we’ve heard from Improv Electronics, maker of writing tablets such as the Boogie Board Rip. The company was on hand at CEA today to tease its latest device, the Boogie Board Jot, which like the Rip sports a reflex LCD display that doesn’t require power to record your scribbles. In fact, the device only uses energy when you hit the eraser button, which means the battery should get you through some 50,000 erases.

Unlike the Rip, this model has no on-board storage, which explains the cheaper $40 price. Another new feature is the redesigned stylus, which acts as a stand for the device when docked in the onboard slot. Improv Electronics will launch the Jot in September, but you can catch some of those back-to-school vibes in our hands-on video below the break.
