Thanks to the iPad, tablet computers are finally a hot consumer item, after many false starts. Now Cisco Systems said it aims to take the tablet computer into the business world with its own device, to launch early next year.
Apple launched the iPad tablet computer in March but Cisco, the world's largest maker of networking equipment, said its own tablet, the Cius, has been in the works for a year and a half.
The Cius will have a 7-inch (18-centimeter) screen, making it smaller and lighter than the iPad. While the iPad has no camera, the Cius will have two, facing both toward and away from the user. Videoconferencing on the go will be a major focus of the product, according to Barry O'Sullivan, senior vice president of Cisco's Voice Technology Group.
