> definitely one of my favorite devices of 2016

These devices are at least 3 years old.

Honestly, the fact that I can only erase the whole board and not a small section is a deal breaker for me. As is the form factor.

Make them as big as a small whiteboard, add local erase features and they've got a winner.

While we're at that, they could manufacture boogie board whiteboard replacements. That would be a hit in all teaching institutions. Imagine: No more markers or chalk. One click erase.

I went through high school in the mid 00s, and just recently graduated from college. Every classroom I've been in for the past 10 years has had a "smart board", which is basically a giant whiteboard with touch recognition. They have "markers" you can pick up and write on the screen with, and an eraser that lets you erase what you've written. They were very successful, and incredibly useful- plus teachers could save the images they drew and then put them up for the class to access later.

Where I work now we have one as well- except instead of a projector it's just a big LCD touchscreen.

I should have been more specific, favorite device I've used in 2016 not that came out in 2016.

Would love giant size Boogie boards for the office.
