"After years of industry chest pounding that 'this is the year of video', we've suddenly reached the tipping point. And without notice the need has changed, now it's all about video collaboration on demand and on the go, its no longer about rooms and devices-now it's all about people and their need to stay connected to anyone, anywhere," said Mark Loney, StarLeaf CEO. "But today's traditional video comes at a high price, resulting in a reluctance for businesses to deliver video into the hands of the workforce-where it is needed most. At StarLeaf we're changing all of this by bringing products to market that are affordable, powerful and appropriate for any sized business and more specifically, individual employees." The StarLeaf PT Mini-is a unique palm sized desktop telepresence device that connects directly to a PC, monitor and webcam, and StarLeaf phone to transform any desktop into a complete high-definition meeting environment. It offers plug and play simplicity and can be installed by anyone in minutes. With its small form factor, and equally attractive price point of $995, the StarLeaf PT Mini is ideal for organizations that want to deliver one-to-one and multiparty video collaboration to individuals, teams, and remote/home workers.
Combining the unparalleled ease-of-use of the StarLeaf Phone with the versatility to deliver video collaboration to any desktop, the StarLeaf PT Mini is a true innovation and the first of its kind. The StarLeaf PT Mini is available as a StarLeaf Cloud solution or with on-premise infrastructure. StarLeaf PT Mini will be available in Q4 of 2012. "Once again StarLeaf has read precisely the market need and delivered on the money. The innovative pairing of the iPad with the StarLeaf phone is a stroke of genius while the PT Mini could change the face of video on the desktop," said Andrew W. Davis, Co-founder and Senior Partner, Wainhouse Research."
