Coming from an organization that competes directly against the likes of Cisco 
and Microsoft collaboration suites, the Spark Board is very appealing to me in 
terms of functionality and capabilities and my understanding is the price point 
is far more reasonable than the Microsoft Hub solution.

Our org adopted Slack pretty early on, so Spark has some room to improve in 
terms of UI, but the idea of your notes and communication stream existing into 
perpetuity without a break in continuity is going to be pretty valuable in the 
enterprise for business users, IMO.

"Everyone wants to say their touch panel is special and is going to change the 
world."

In addition to your statement, I also dislike how companies will manufacture 
demand out of thin air.

The whole Spark Board event was cringe worthy in my opinion; with their 
over-the-top showmanship, and pretend first to market smugness.

application that you put on top of it. I am not sure on the Surface Hub and 
Spark Board, but I doubt the OEM is actually manufacturing the touch panel 
itself.  We do know that the Spark board is leveraging a computer from Nvidia 
providing the compute and GPU capabilities.

Nice Freudian slip 😊

Seems it is based on the existing Surface Hub.

Definitely looks like a game-changer in this space assuming you can get 
everyone using Spark.
