2. Project Concept Concept: The Virtual Whiteboard is a device that can display text messages from cell phones anywhere in the world. The product utilizes an LCD screen that can be updated over the 3G network, WiFi, or USB and can display desired messages with real-time updates. Motivation: The current version of a whiteboard, where public information is displayed while you are away is neither accessible nor advanced enough for people's busy lifestyles. With the Virtual Whiteboard, you can communicate en masse, from anywhere with just a text message from your cell phone. This is the ultimate convenience for someone who needs to let other people know information without having to divulge private contact information.

3. Competitive Analysis Cell phones, but you need to give away your cell phone number, and have others’ cell phone numbers Twitter on cell phones, useful but not always practical and requires everyone you need to be subscribed Conventional black/white board, not accessible enough, not convenient enough for today’s lifestyles Electronic Message Board, but the text can not be displayed all at one time and messages can not be sent to it from any other device
