Cisco says it's time for telepresence technology in your living room with the introduction of Umi (pronounced You-Me). It's basically video conferencing in your living room in HD so you could show off your latest purchase to a friend or a skin rash to your doctor. For more on Umi read Sam Diaz's blog.
