The Boogie Board Rip is now available to pre-order for all of your digital sketching needs. The newest stylus-friendly writing tablet from Improv Electronics adds the power to save lots of notes and sketches, then port them across in your computer as PDFs. Its reflex LCD only uses power when it’s wiping the screen, meaning it’ll squeeze out per week of typical use between charges. You may reserve yours now from the maker within the US and Canada, but at $130, it’s pricier than previous storage-free Boogie Boards. Europeans anticipating a digital sketch pad can lay a claim to at least one next week, with the scribbling slate set to ship on November 1st.
Kent, Ohio, USA – Monday, October 3, 2011: Improv® Electronics announced today that the Boogie Board Rip™ LCD Writing Tablet, the latest model to sign up for the company’s growing family of paperless Boogie Board® eWriters, is now available for preorder for patrons within the Country and Canada through improvelectronics.com. Customers in Europe can preorder within the coming week. All preorders throughout the continental U.s. and Europe include free ground shipping.
The Boogie Board Rip tablet combines the phenomenal, paper-like writing experience of all Boogie Board eWriters with the highly-anticipated ability to record written notes/images and save them as .pdf files. Saved files can then be uploaded to a pc for editing, organizing, archiving and/or sharing. Like any Boogie Board eWriters, the Boogie Board Rip tablet requires no power to generate or retain a picture. Just a small amount of power is needed to erase, save or upload stored files to a working laptop or computer.
“Consumers world wide will quickly fall in love with the Boogie Board Rip tablet. It’s the ultimate writing and drawing medium for college kids, business professionals, artists, designers, environmental advocates and others trying to lift the weight of desks cluttered with paper, drawers jam-packed with used paper notebooks, and time wasted looking through page after page of paper notes,” said Kent Displays/Improv Electronics CEO Dr. Albert Green. “It’s the most vital advancement in writing since…paper itself. Demand should be high, and we strongly encourage those wishing to offer it as a vacation gift to preorder to make sure product availability.”
