Ron

Most of the slate devices shown this year have been aimed at consumers, but Cisco has its sights set on the enterprise market. The company’s business-oriented Cius tablet is designed to accompany corporate workers during those lonely nights on the road, boasting a “virtual desktop integration with anywhere, anytime access to the full range of Cisco collaboration and communication applications.”

The Android-based 7-incher places a large emphasis on video conferencing features, including a front camera capable of capturing 720p video at 30 frames per second, along with a 5-megapixel camera on the rear for still images and streaming VGA quality video. There are also dual noise-cancelling microphones, as well as 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, with 4G coming in the future.
