Google announced an innovative cloud-based digital whiteboard back in October last year. Now, the company has officially unveiled the Google Jamboard at the Google Cloud Next event. This new digital whiteboard will be available for sale starting May this year. Google Jamboard price starts at $4,999 (Rs. 3,33,000 approx) with an additional annual management fee of $600 (Rs. 40,000 approx).
Essentially, Jamboard is a giant touchscreen canvas made focusing mainly on the companies. Google is aiming to replace the physical project wall/ chalkboard/ whiteboard with this Jamboard. The touchscreen canvas can recognize the difference when someone is touching it with a finger or writing on it with a stylus. Google Jamboard features a 55-inch ultra-high definition 4K screen and works best with G Suite.
