We came across a very innovative product this week called the Sense Board. The idea behind the product is to allow users who
use mobile devices to not need to carry a full keyboard with that device. The Sense Board allows users to attach small
devices around the hand and mimic typing or mouse movements on any surface easily and quietly. Visit the link to get more
information about this great upcoming product.
The above items as well as other new and innovative services and technologies can be found on our What's Hip section on our
