Splashtop Whiteboard

Hey, not a bad idea for certain situations, like classroom presentations.

--

Turn your Android tablet into a mobile interactive whiteboard. Splashtop Whiteboard allows teachers and students to turn their Android tablet into an interactive white board. Once connected to their computer over Wifi, they can watch Flash media with fully synchronized video and audio, control PC and Mac applications then annotate lesson content all from an Android tablet. Now interact with students at their desk or present from all four corners of the class.

Splashtop Whiteboard offers users of existing interactive white boards (IWBs) - such as Mimeo, Mobi, Promethean, Polyvision, or Smart Technologies - a way to extend their investment by accessing their tools from anywhere in the class without using wireless slates. For users who do not use an IWB, now they can build one at a fraction of the cost.

BE IN CONTROL – Have complete control over the applications such as Keynote or Powerpoint on the classroom PC as if you were sitting right there. No need to stay at the front of the class. Slowly reveal text or images to keep your audience focused using the Screen Shade tool. Or use the Spotlight tool to keep the attention on just one part of the screen. Be free to roam around - hand the Android tablet to a student and let their imagination do the rest!

ANNOTATE ANYTHING – Use gestures to draw, highlight, or write over any content. Take snapshots of the screen and save them to the gallery then print or email the snapshots to students, parents or colleagues. Use different colored and sized pens, stamps, highlighter, shapes, lines, and text tools over existing content or Flipchart backgrounds. Everything you do is displayed on the projector connected to your PC or Mac! Use the digital flipchart tool to create pages with different backgrounds.

EXPERIENCE LIFELIKE PLAYBACK – All video and audio are played in high definition on your Android tablet, Play Adobe Flash content, iTunes music, DVDs, CDs, etc. as they were meant to be enjoyed.

TMZ for Tablets

Yeah, it's TMZ, I know, I know, but it's an official app for a pretty popular brand, so who am I to vote it off the list just because I change the channel the moment it comes on and handcuff myself to a chair to prevent accidental slappage of anyone who comes near, having mistaken them for Harvey Levin? You know you do it too:

Run before it's too late!

Although, the Play Store does have one thing going for it - now excuse me as I stare at the screenshot of Natalie Portman's photo at the Golden Globes some more (yes, it needs to be that big).
