Cnet's Buzz Out Loud podcast received an e-mail from a listener who claimed that Cisco is working on a business-centric tablet. According to the podcast (37 minutes in) the anonymous tipster hinted that Cisco's tablet will be a 7-inch touchscreen device.

The e-mail went on to detail that the could-be device will run on Android and feature a front facing camera, dual noise-caneling microphones, and VPN remote access.
