With a 720p front facing video camera, and a 5 megapixle camera on the back, it looks like they are going after the video conferencing demographic.


Check out what the new Cius is rockin'.

• 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, 3G/4G data and Bluetooth 3.0
• HD video (720p) with Cisco TelePresence solution interoperability
• Virtual desktop client
• Android operating system
• Collaboration applications including Cisco Quad, Cisco Show and Share, WebEx, Presence, and IM

Tablet Highlights:

• 7” diagonal, high-resolution color screen with contact-based touch targets
• HD Soundstation supports Bluetooth and USB peripherals
• Detachable and serviceable 8-hour battery!
• Highly secure remote connections
• HD audio

This sounds like a serious offering from Cisco aimed directly at RIMs market share, if it ever releases its tablet device.

this is cool i guess.. great find. I am just anti-droid/linux... Now if this said Windows OS I would be all over it. Just Sayin...

I know the feeling, I have messed around with an andriod phone for all of 30 seconds, so I can't say whether I like it or not. But this piques my interest a little.
