Father’s Day Gift Idea: Cisco Umi – giveaway

Father’s Day Gift Idea: Cisco Umi – giveaway

Ever since Cisco announced Umi [amazon] I’ve wanted one – its just perfect for a family like ours – I have in-laws that are across the country and we try to use skype and facetime without much luck from time to time but I think something sooo simple as being plugged into the TV should make it so much easier to get connected for the grandsparents to have a virtual playdate.

Father’s Day: Cisco ūmi connects family and friends, even during the busiest times. It’s a new way for the whole family to get together and chat – whether they’re around the corner or across the country. Cisco ūmi connects to any HD television and broadband internet connection to deliver a video communications experience through your TV and from the comfort of your living room with such amazing clarity it feels as if everyone is in the same room.

With Cisco ūmi’s interoperability with Google Video, traveling dads who are often on the road can use their PC or MAC to share all the moments at home from bedtime stories to blowing a good night kiss.

Starting on June 5th through June 19th, you can buy a Cisco ūmi and get a second unit FREE. Additional details on the Buy One Get One Free promotion will be available http://www.cisco.com/go/umibogo. Cisco ūmi carries a SRP of $499 (for 1080p video quality) or $399 (for 720p video quality), with an annual service fee of $99.

And to that end – we’re giving away 2 Cisco Umi units.
