LED Illuminated Message Board makes ordinary messages psychedelic

Kids these days, they've got it made -- wouldn't you agree? While our tot-hood was filled with low-end luxuries like Etch A Sketch and Lite-Brite, our offspring are expanding their minds with things like the LED Illuminated Message Board. Much like a traditional dry erase board, those with the appropriate pens can simply draw up whatever they please on the white display, but flip a switch and the whole thing goes psychoactive. Talk about getting the message across. Slap one on your own refrigerator right now for around 20 bones.

seems similar to LumiPad
What I don't get:
Pics on the page show the writing surface transparent in some pics, white in others. I'm curious how this works.
Pic on the page says "Obama called. Strip club tonight"

Hmm!

The flashing lights on the frame I don't like, even as an option. Seems tacky and cheap.
The marker only seems to come in Green, but the pics seem to show some yellow showing up.
There is no option to run off AC adaptor, or so it seems. LumiPad larger sizes could.

LumiPad sounds better,but as I understand it, bigger ones are running thin on the ground these days, and I really haven't tried any of these products! They do sound interesting, though. I still miss my classic Magna Doodle from childhoold and am going through withrawal symptons :)

pic seems to show some red marker too...I wonder if these are optional (?)

[Scott @ Jul 20th 2009 3:15AM]

If you click through the links to the store, you'll find you have to buy 2 for $39, and then shipping is $35 within USA on top of that.

So, really these are $40 each to the door, and you must buy two for $80.

Much less tempting the the $20 tease.

Causes waking up in your own crap

Love the Obama called, strip club tonight sign!

Appears just to be a clear piece of plexy with led lights around it which highlight the marker that you write with. Similar to those plexy signs that are laser etched and catch the light from the Leds. This case its just a special type of ink which catches the light.

[SammyXD @ Jul 20th 2009 5:14AM]

[MrNuclear @ Jul 20th 2009 5:31AM]

[Galley @ Jul 20th 2009 8:48AM]

Anything is better when it's psychedelic!

It must be a really great product if Disney has allowed Mickey Mouse to endorse it.

[dan2600 @ Jul 20th 2009 1:43PM]

would like to see it in action rather then promotional product shots.

Remember how cool light brights looked on TV and on the Box...then you get it home and its like....:(

Also how does it work...semitransparent marker that gets a LED backlight applied to it? Whats the difference between that and putting a light bulb behind some vellum paper. Is it electro-luminescent (as it appears in the pictures) or what?
