certainly Cisco has "high end" with a range of products - and certainly it has a "high end" price to go with it.

but its not to say that there aren't alternate offerings - either from the company i work for (who relatively recently also owns Tandberg) or others.

likely that your next phone handset will have semi-decent video if it does not already.

little more than a couple of years ago, "HD video cameras" used to be incredibly expensive.  so did "prosumer" digital cameras.
i'd expect the same to happen with any electronic goods as they become commodity goods due to increased demand driving increased supply.

a lot of the 'enablers' for this are already happening - be it the CMOS video sensors in volume or the DSPs to process HD video in system-on-chip at low power levels.

you can thank multiple reasons for this.  the automobile industry is a huge reason.  so is security/surveilance industry.  and of course Apple/Android/(insert_handset_manufacturer_here).


cheers,

lincoln.
