We had smartboards like those back when I was IT for a university. Had 20 Mondopads, which were the same thing but $8k and were a hell of a lot less functional.

These look cool though with some great features

Also, it seems the app to collaborate on the work is available on existing mobile devices. What's going to stop people from simply using it on their tablets and bypass the jamboard completely?

it probably needs a host, which will be the jamboard itself and from the sound of it there is a license involved. "annual service costs"
