TMO at MWSF - SMART Shows New Sympodium ID250 Interactive Display [CORRECTED]

by , 12:45 PM EST, January 13th, 2005

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- SMART, maker of interactive technology products such as the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, announced the release of the Sympodium ID250 interactive pen display at this week's Macworld Expo show.

The ID250 is a 15" LCD display, but it can also act as an input device, thanks to a battery-free tethered pen. This input ability allows the control of applications, writing of notes in digital ink, and just about anything you can do with a mouse.

The built-in stand allows placement on a podium, desk or table so presenters can face their audience.

The ID250 breaks new ground in pricing, being 40 percent less expensive than previous Sympodium products. The suggested retail price of the ID250 is $2,249 [price corrected]. Sympodium products have used at events such as English premier League Soccer and Euro Cup 2004 Soccer, and on the popular CSI TV show.

Not happy at all using this with my PowerBook. All the features I wanted this for are not available with a Mac. Until they get an update, save your money if you plan on using with Mac only.
