My job is all in on google. Gmail, meets, gcp, everything. Never heard of jamboard. We'd probably have been using it too, if we ever knew it existed! How is it that closure announcements are when we find out about these things? Especially from a company whose revenue comes from advertising?

Haha, wow, I picked up one from the Twitter liquidation sale this Monday. HAHA! What a sucker I am! It appears to run Android, so I think we can probably pull something off here.

If you have any luck, I’d love to know about it. Our deactivated Jamboard currently serves as nothing more than a mediocre large monitor for a Mac mini.

Interesting. A full year of notice is actually pretty good for a Google shutdown if my memory serves correctly.

I think it's reasonable to say that shutdowns are their core competency at this point.

They are ending support, but they still own all the associated patents around it, correct?

What if there was a corporation that bought out every entrant involving new technology (not necessarily monopolizing their already dominant verticals, but other new inventions/ideas)? They either have a winner, or they stifle innovation in corresponding area for the lifetime of any associated patents.
