Philips Entertaible
September 4, 2006
Philips have introduced a nice concept which is a table top gaming platform. It is a great idea and if the price is right, I can see it doing fairly well. It takes the element of a fun board game and mixes real playing peices in to a desk top horizontal LCD display which measures 32 inch. The LCD screen is touch sensative and allows you to move peices around a board which can have animation, video or what ever the game is made to do. It ads the old school fun of a board game in to todays technology which is bound to get a few happy followers.
The target currently is the public market to make social gaming more fun, but it could hit the consumers soon after if it proves to be popular.

[...] Philips have been mentioned a couple of times in the last few days. The most recent I wrote about was the Philips Entertaible which is an LCD touch screen for playing board games. The next item I recently read about over at OhGizmo is the Philips In Touch message board. The message board is currently a concept idea but could be something very useful to have around the home. This device is an LCD based mirror which can display notes, images and video’s. When you receive the item you can configure it for use by everyone in the home and you have a bunch of thumbnails on the screen which you tap to open up your own profile. Another great built in feature is the use of MMS and SMS in which you can contact family members when they are away from home. I assume that this feature can also be used as an alarm system to text if you have forgotten to look at appointments for the day. [...]
