Seems like the latest, greatest from Cisco is the Cisco 890 series routers. Word is they will be available in the US starting in May.
They have been talking about this router over at the Cisco forum at for a while - seems one of the guys there is a CCIE and has been a beta tester for these units and he has lots of good things to say about them!!
He said the "real fun" with these will come with the 12.5 IOS "down the road" !!! Not sure all he "means" but he knows his stuff when he posts
From Cisco -
Here is a FAQ about them -
Here is some more information on the Cisco 890-
Biggest question is WHY it has a GIG WAN Ethernet port but the 8 port built in switch is ONLY 10/100 ??????
Hey Cisco, why not 10/100/1000 on the LAN ports ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????
