Ricardo,

It seems that Onfinity are having a few problems with their website at the moment (and they’ve seemingly removed the page I was linking to) You could try visiting http://www.onfinity.info but it appears to be somewhat broken at the moment.

Could anybody please tell us how to find these products. Today I tried to open the Onfinity web page and I didn't find it. Thanks for your comments.

Hopefully this isn't sneaky promotion work by an Australian CM2 reseller, but as I've no way of checking I thought I'd share what information I do have.

They sell it as a portable unit but we have them fixed in our classrooms with the data projector. Works like a treat. Don't have to worry cleaning the smart board or the kids breaking it. I would suggest every school taking a look at these instead of paying top dollar for other for other types of interactive whiteboards. Makes the Mimio and eBeam look like a bit of a joke! Bill - ICT Coordinator & Teacher I agree James

They work just like a normal IWB but are a third of the cost. The thing i like about it is that the software that comes with it doesn't matter. All our interactive stuff works great on it! Our school could only really afford to buy a couple of 'traditional' interactive whiteboards and now every class has access to one of the ONfinity units. We can engage our students for a third of the price of a normal board. We have had them for several months now and have not had one problem even though they are used all day, every day. More schools should get a few of these instead of paying huge amounts to pay the wages of IWB sales people. One tip - if you intend to do a lot of writing, get the stylus epen as well.

Just ordered a couple of Mimios @ £99.50 each. Would like to see one of these in action. Interesting!
