UX Whiteboards knows that despite the rise of touchscreens, sometimes you just need a physical representation to bridge the gap between idea and understanding. To that end the company has created a line of whiteboards in the shape of Android and iOS devices. The goal is for product designers to accurately be able to sketch out a mobile website or app without having to try and guess the dimensions of a smartphone.
UX Whiteboards may seem like a niche product but the reality is that many product teams, and companies in general, still use whiteboards to convey idea. The company's whiteboards come in both vinyl and magnetic and sell for $89 each. Currently UX Whiteboards only offers "support" for Android and iOS but the company says more options are coming soon.
