SMART Table

This was posted on Gizmodo today--a table, like Surface, but specifically for Primary. I'll re-post it here in case you didn't see it.
Thoughts? :)

So last year. RM were demonstrating a Mimio/eBeam placed on a table with a projector pointing at it. Around £300 (the SMART table seems to be about $7,000 = £4,500, not sure if that includes a projector).

I think the SMART Table is an all in one solution, so no need for a projector. Plus has multi touch ala MS Surface. Can see this being the one to see at BETT.

Press Release here.

We have a demo unit of this Table. What kind of questions do you guys have I can see if I can answer it.

I've been asked to source an interactive table, and a product called 'see point' or possibly 'cpoint' was mentioned to me, however i can find nothing online about this, does anyone know of this product?

Well, SeePoint Kiosks - Touch Screen Kiosk Manufacturer make touchscreens but they are more PoS and Kiosk type rather than suited to education. They don't seem t have a table in the product lineup anyway. The SMART Table or Microsoft Surface based products are the only real contenders that I know of, but I think the Surface is only actually coming to market properly this year with a model from Samsung.

That SeePoint company is based in the states, i find it highly unlikely that is whom i was asked to look for.

There are plenty out there now.

Try some firms like SMART, ProBrand, Interactive Education. They'll have the best advice.
