Cisco accepting pre-orders for the Cius tablet

The Cius tablet from Cisco is now finally ready to hit the streets with full gusto. In fact, the pre-order process is already underway and if you haven’t heard of this or are taken by surprise by this latest development in the tablet world, well that’s all because Cisco is not making much of a noise about it all. Now this isn’t the usual norm followed by manufacturers as they generally resort to all tricks in the book to attract consumer attention when they are ready with the pre-order process.

However, this isn’t all that is different in case of the Cius. This since the Cius is not a tablet device that you simply walk into a retail store and walk out with one. Instead, if you are keen to have one of this Cisco tablet, you will need to get in touch with Cisco’s field representative or channel reseller. Shipping will kick off this month itself while wider availability of the tablet expected towards the end of the year.

Also, if you think if you have lost track of the tablet that has been built exclusively for use by those in the enterprise sector, here is a quick rejoinder. The Cius comes with a 7 inch display and runs the Android operating system. The tablet will feature 802.1a/b/g/n WiFi and will be fully at ease in a business environments allowing voice and video capabilities while also adhering with all the latest security requirements.
