It’s time to retire your alphanumeric die as Hasbro prepares to bring Boggle into the 21st century. Sure, online and electronic versions of the game have been around for ages, but there’s always some appeal to playing with something tangible. And with Boggle Flash it’s five miniature monochrome LCD displays that each present a different random letter.

The object of the game is to spell out as many words as possible with those five letters by joining the displays together, and what’s particularly cool is that Boggle Flash will keep score for you, so you only have to concentrate on your spelling skills, not your math skills. And since the game was just revealed, there’s no pricing info or release date beyond “later this year.”

LCD’s are wonderful bits of technology. TVs, computer monitors and even the screen on your phone are probably LCD displays. Now one company even wants to use this same technology to replace your old-fashioned pen and paper. Behold the Boogie Board LCD Tablet.

No, this thing isn’t going to completely replace that pad of paper in your desk drawer, but it does have its uses. What you’re looking at is an LCD tablet that can be used with a stylus (or any other object, such as a fingernail) to write on. Touch-sensitive screens are nothing new, but this particular one uses no power except when you erase the screen. Even then it requires only a very small amount of power, which is supplied by a watch battery. This is good for around 50,000 erase cycles.

So why won’t you be tossing out all of your notepads in favor of one of these? For starters, There’s no way to save the work you’ve written (or drawn) on the tablet. I suppose you could put it on a copier, but I think the irony would actually cause the universe to implode. The other issue I have is the fact that you can only erase the entire page. If you make a mistake, you’ve got to either live with it or start all over.

Essentially what you have is a portable whiteboard that doesn’t need those awesome-smelling markers in order to work. It could be great during brainstorming sessions and whatnot, but without any way to correct mistakes or export images, I think its practicality is limited. On the bright side, it’s only $30. There’s a good chance I’ll pick one of these up just for kicks.

The recent addition of live view LCD displays to DSRLs has made capturing photos at odd angles considerably easier, and you can think of the Pro-View as taking that idea one step further. It consists of a camera-equipped transmitter which is placed over the eyepiece of your SLR that sends a live video feed to a remote wireless display up to 500 feet away. The display has a 3.5-inch LCD running at a resolution of 640×480, though that can be split into 4 sub-views for monitoring up to 4 cameras at one time.

Now even though the remote does have a 4-way controller on it for adjusting tilt, pan and zoom, that functionality is useless if your camera isn’t setup in a proper rig allowing you to control that remotely, not to mention you’ll also need a remote for triggering the shutter. And it’s those limitations that make the $395 price tag a bit hard to swallow for amateur photogs. On the other hand, if photos of notoriously rare and shy animals in the wild pay your salary, this could be an instant must-have accessory.
