E-Ink Playboard is the Perfect Paperless Sports Guide

— June 30, 2009 — Lifestyle

The E-Ink Playboard starts out as a blank slate, but can be converted into a playing field of any sport you want. Your illustrious game plan can then be outlined with the trace of your finger.

For any coach, this would save time and stress (which you can bet there is a lot of).
