Google announced the Jamboard way back in October of last year. Then, in March, the search giant revealed that the Microsoft Surface Hub competitor would go on sale in May of 2017. Unfortunately, May came and there was no Jamboard -- until today.

Yes, Google's Jamboard -- which requires a G Suite plan -- goes on sale starting today (in the USA, at least). If you have been clamoring for the opportunity to purchase it for your business' meeting room, you can finally part with your $5,000. Google will also charge $600 a year for management and support, but if you buy before September 30, the company will give you 50-percent off your first year.

"You can purchase Jamboard for $4,999 USD, which includes two styluses, an eraser and a wall mount. We're also running a promotion -- if you order on or before September 30, 2017, you'll receive $300 off of the annual management and support fee for the first year, as well as a discount on the optional rolling stand," says TJ Varghese, Senior Product Manager, Google.

Varghese further explains, "Keep in mind that a G Suite plan is required to use Jamboard so that you can access files from Drive, use them in your brainstorms and come back to your work later. Plus, the Jamboard mobile companion apps can be used remotely so you can work on the go. Also, we're teaming up with BenQ to handle fulfillment, delivery and support."
