Rich Tehrani on Cisco’s UMI

mjgraves | October 7, 2010

I don’t always agree with TMC’s Rich Tehrani, but with respect to Cisco’s UMI I do believe that he has the situation nailed when he posted, “10 Reasons Why Cisco Umi Telepresence Will Fail.” In fact, I think that stopping at ten was a kindness in Cisco’s direction.

There are so many players in this space that simply do consumer electronics better than Cisco that I simply can’t see UMI getting much traction in it’s current form. Starting with Logitech other companies will soon be in the space with better devices…better user experience…better support…better prices…just plain better.

And just in case you’re wondering about Google TV, well Rakesh Agrawal, CEO of Houston based Snapstream, has I think some very insightful thoughts on the matter.
