HP Halo

My sources tell me that HP is quitely shopping around the sale of its HALO video conferencing unit. Supposedly its for both the product and the service. I guess the pressure Polycom and Cisco has been putting on them, probably coupled with the recession, is making them think that its time to get out of the market.

I wonder what the value is of the HALO product? Its mostly off the shelf parts. HP is #2 in telepresence behind #1 Polycom. Its mostly just the customer list. Should be interesting to see how many customers start looking for a replacement when they hear that HP is getting out of the biz.
