My abstract for the linked article


Google is discontinuing Jamboard, its $5,000 digital whiteboard product, in late 2024. Jamboard was a large touchscreen that integrated with Google Workspace apps, allowing collaborative work. However, Google found that Jamboard users were a small portion of its Workspace customers. It will shut down the Jamboard apps and hardware, leaving existing customers with useless devices. Google recommends migrating Jamboard data to competitors' whiteboard apps like Figma and Miro. While Jamboard was expensive initially, its annual fees and integration with Workspace subscriptions resulted in total costs as high as $7,000 per year.

The high recurring costs were not enough to sustain Jamboard long-term.

This is getting out of hand... now there are two of them!

Please PM me your disapproval. Enough of those and I will cease to perform these summaries. My goal is to be helpful not annoyance.
