Cisco introduced a mobile collaboration business tablet that runs its Cisco collaboration and communication applications, including HD video.
Cisco Cius is an Android-based tablet designed for full telepresence interoperability, HD video streaming and real-time video, multi-party conferencing, email, messaging, browsing, and the ability to produce, edit and share content stored locally or centrally in the cloud.

- An on-board accelerometer readily orients applications for viewing in portrait or landscape modes
- Support for 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi for enterprise campus mobility and 3G cellular services when off-campus. 4G services will be available at a later date. Bluetooth and Micro-USB means users can work untethered and share data with a PC.
