Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Cisco is launching a tablet computing device aimed at business customers, becoming the latest company to wade into the red-hot tablet market.
The networking equipment maker unveiled the Cius on Tuesday, a lightweight, 7-inch tablet based on Google's Android operating system.
Cisco is pitching the Cius, which will work over both short-range WiFi and high-speed mobile wireless networks, as a collaboration and communication device for enterprises.
The Cius offers portable video conferencing, access to a users' desktop computer, email messaging and Web browsing, along with applications designed for the Android platform.
Apple essentially created the tablet market with the successful launch of the iPad in April and a slew of tablet devices are hitting the market this year from companies such as Dell Inc and Toshiba Corp.
Unlike Cisco's offering, most tablets have so far been aimed at consumers.
