New ActivBoard Software Incoming
My Promethean Activboard is great, I need a new projector, but I’m a big fan of the boards and the software. So I’m quite excited that there is some new software incoming. I’m really pleased that I’ve been offered an early download of the software. Canny marketing work by Promethean offering the software to bloggers early, but I’m not complaining!
A little Googling has thrown up some rumours about the new software. It would appear to fully integrate the ActiveExpression ‘clickers’ which I’m not lucky enough to own. Other rumours suggest that, at long last, the software will enable multi-touch input. This will be fantastic news if it is true.
I’ll report back soon with early impressions. What improvements would you like to see in the software?

It’s also going to run on Ubuntu linux and some other popular distributions. That’s a big step forward in the right direction
