Google announces digital whiteboard "Jamboard" that can be used for cloud connection - GIGAZINE


Google announced that "Jamboard will be released in May 2017" within the cloud technology developer conference "Google Cloud Next conference." Jamboard is a digital whiteboard with a 55-inch 4K display that can be used on a cloud basis, competing with Microsoft's Surface Hub, but the price is expected to be 4999 dollars (about 580,000 yen). A support cost of 600 dollars a year (about 70,000 yen) is required.

The rival Surface Hub also sells the same 55-inch product for 8,999 dollars (about 1,300,000 yen). Although Google 's Jamboard requires a support cost of $ 600 per year, price competitiveness seems to be quite high as it is priced much lower than Surface Hub in terms of initial installation cost. By the way Surface Hub also has a 89-inch large screen model, but the price is $ 21,000 (about 2.4 million yen), so it seems that this will not directly compete with Jamboard.
