A Closer Look At Cisco Cius: The Enterprise-Class Tablet

Yet another tablet will be making its way to Indian shelves come first week of October. The newest face on the Indian tablet scene sees Cisco’s entrant into the fray, the Cius, which is designed to be the first-of-its-kind Enterprise-class Business Tablet. It’s quite possible the BlackBerry Playbook is shrugging its rounded shoulders somewhere right now. A bit on the heavy side

The company, following in the footsteps of other manufacturers like LG, HTC and Samsung, also has its very own app store called AppHQ that features over 2000 specially designed and chosen apps for the business class user. It’s designed to be a secure, cloud-based storefront with apps for IT managers and other Enterprise users. All the apps that feature in this specific online store are Cisco-validated before publishing. For the enterprise user on the go

Getting back to the device itself, the Cisco Cius is a small, bulky and slightly heavy-set device with quite a solid build. It’s equipped with a 7-inch multi-touch display sporting a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution. Dual cameras are available to support video calls of course. The front facing camera can stream calls and record video in up to 720p (@30 fps). The rear 5MP camera also supports 720p recording. We were also informed that the Cius will also support full HD i.e. 1080p video playback. The built in speaker is quite loud making handsfree calling a non-issue.
