The Boogie Board uses a pressure-sensitive, non-powered LCD. $60 for a ten-inch LCD tablet. That's what you'll pay for the Boogie Board writing tablet, but you won't be installing any apps on it.
The new 10.5-inch could more properly be called a slate, as it mimics writing on the stone tablets with a piece of chalk. It works a little like an Etch-a-Sketch, only instead of twiddling knobs until you grow frustrated and throw it away, the Boogie Board uses a stylus.
When you write on the screen, the pressure turns the screen from dark to light, leaving marks as if you were drawing on paper (only with the colors reversed).
