Cisco Cius - Better Than iPad?

[prsydaus]

Webex for iPad is a great combo. iPad is also flexible for home use. The best of "Work/Life" Balance.

Seriously what advantage would the CIUS have over simply purchasing a Windows Tablet in the future and running Cisco's collaboration suite on it? It would be suicide for Cisco not to support Windows on ARM in the future. Cisco is wasting time and money on this product. At a price near $1000 list its excessively expensive with zero advantage since only 5% of any organization could leverage it. They are better off making money on licensing software to run on 3rd party tablets.

Cisco is not good at end-point/front-end. They're strength is making sturdy back-end hardware that supports your laptop/Ipod/Iphone's internet connection.

[Sh0nin]

Cisco seems to be completely shit at marketting. All their ads look really dry and uninspired.

[iApna]

@Sh0nin - No kidding! Cisco needs to fire their entire marketing team.

[shauryagupta21]

i think cisco wants to sell this product to IT business buddies only....

they do not generally compete head on with the other big guys in the retail sector...

i dont know why....but according to them Customers=Guys from other companies

their product may be as good as any other...but they definitely take the fun out of it!!!

[Thor17]

Blah, blah, blah... Where's the demo?

[prsydaus]

@Thor17 hahaha death by powerpoint

[mathew139]

hmmm...somethings on Fire here...Wooooow...Its the Avaya Flare....

[wilsonsamuel]

@mathew139

thanks for the info, however Cius has virtualization (Desktop Virtualization) that I didnt see in Flare.. may be I missed something ?

[viktike]

I definietly don't understand this company :D won't beat facetime or ipad

[cdodkin]

So it doesn't actually power up then?

Rather than talking, couldn't we actually see it working???

[mmyshrall]

I think it will get the award for the most buzzwords integrated into a product launch. I'm sure this VP of Marketing had her whole team collaborate on the script for this video. I doubt they used the tablet to do it though.

[Tonisyy]

bla bla bla , maby show if it acctually works

[vincentowyong]

JUST SHUT UP AND SHOW US NOT TALK AND POWERPOINT FOR HEAVENS SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wilsonsamuel]

ladies n gentlemen,

unlike iPad this is more focused for enterprise users than home users which iPad focuses.. so cheers!

[mathew139]

@wilsonsamuel Thanks...Please check Avaya Flare....Somethings Burning...Dude...

[BlazingStriker]

I think this new tablet developed by cisco is nothing but trash. This thing will never be able to even meet the ipad's domain. I wouldn't buy this even if they gave me a billion dollars.

[CstandsforAwesome]

Steve Jobs could sell this to me, not this girl sorry :/

[xtgd19]

@CstandsforAwesome so damn right, although Steve Jobs isn't able to solve the IPhone 4's antenna problem XD But as a marketing boy he kicks ass, K.O. the competition at selling anything, even a wet sock, maybe called the iSock.

[1992Raiden]

All I can say is hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahaha

[tritraveller]

triumph of marketing over technology... let us know when you've got one that can be powered on...

[therealelwoodjblues]

"Collaborations Solutions Marketing"? Seriously?

[trissss]

Thing is off during the whole presentation. WAT. It could just be a piece of plastic for all we care.

And I lol'd even more because this is not a joke.

[jeanmarciniak]

Looks like a video from The 80s. They need to show something more Fresh.

[elnane]

what is that hole on her cheek?

[Anavengertg]

All I can say is Lol...
