The listing, Brand New Brookstone Boogie Board - Etch a Sketch Only Easier and Semi-Electronic-Free US & CN Ship has ended.
This is a brand new Brookstone Boogie Board. It behaves kind of like Etch-A-Sketch, only much easier. You can erase your marks with a push of a button. You write with a stylus like a longer version of the ones from the old Palm Pilots.
Anyway it's pretty cool. It's maybe a little less cool and pedestrian then getting a tablet PC, but there are two big obvious uses for this. 1. Art. 2. Leaving notes for your family members in the kitchen. Anyway when I tried out another one of these, the technology is slightly better then my expectations.
Note too, this is a pretty inexpensive item (look it up :-). This would make a pretty good child's or mother's Christmas gift.
There's a website with videos here:

I'm certain the Brookstone branded version in this lot is identical to the one made by Improv Electronics advertised in the website. They use the same images in the advertising.
