Cisco’s annual networking conference, Cisco Live!, is in full swing and the networking giant is unveiling the initial details on several upcoming video-oriented products. For consumer video camera buffs, Cisco is working on a Wi-Fi-enabled version of its popular Flip Video camera. Details are sparse but senior vice president of emerging technologies, Marthin De Beer, did hint that the portable camera may launch in time for the holidays. Cisco is also developing an enterprise-level video transcoding service, called the Media Experience Engine, that would allow companies to internally distribute video to a variety of platforms on the fly. Last but not least, Cisco is planning to release an iOS 4 video client for the Apple iPhone and is exploring opportunities to integrate its technologies into Apple’s FaceTime video conferencing tool.

    Sorry Kelly! Ask for better assignments! :-)

    But I do like the iOS4 piece and Facetime. That’d be really cool.

    I knew this was coming. I didn’t want to bring up Apple in the last article regarding a Cisco Android device, but now I guess it makes sense to bring it up. Apple licensed the name iOS from Cisco. That made me think that there may be more at hand. I wouldn’t be surprised that the Cisco Android tablet will support FaceTime.

    So I guess iPhones will be conferencing with people on those Cisco tablets, collaborating and doing real work.

    We may be seeing Cisco help cement a true standard for all to enjoy no mater what your platform, we soon may be able to video call each other.

    Interoperability FTW!

    Getting those Cisco Collaboration Tools like Conferencing, WebX etc. onto Android and iOS Devices could lead to a new level of business acceptance for those Systems. I would just love the Cisco Cius on my Desk and using it to videocall my iPhone collegues would be a major improvment for my work.

    Unfortunately this seems to good to be true and so not-apple-esque. I think this will vaporize into some super-limited features noone can really use and Mr.Jobs announces as magical and revolutionary :(

    Too bad i cant get my collegues to ditch the iStuff and move on to Android :D
