Touch screen tablet - Boogie board: the cheapest tablet on market

First of all, to get rid of any confusion, the Boogie board LCD writing tablet is not a touchscreen tablet per say, but an advanced Etch A Sketch with the ability to write directly on the screen, a flexible plastic LCD, called Reflex LCD in this case. It’s the kind of screen that persistently keeps the info designed on it without needing power.

A watch type battery is provided for the Boogie board tablet that allows for up to 50.000 screen resets. The price, 30 $ on Amazon is what makes this gadget invaluable but there’s a catch, a big one the impedes it from being the perfect cheap touch tablet: it can’t store any of the things you draw for later transfer to a computer and of course it can’t restore them on the tablet. Also you can’t reset just portions of the screen (like using an eraser tool) so you won’t be able to correct any mistakes, but that’s a small price to pay I guess.

One of the advantages is that the Reflex LCD screen responds to pressure so you can draw thick or thin lines. You can get the Boogie Board Writing Tablet from Amazon.
