Note: This is a free type…. staraight from my head, no cancelling.

 

 

The first half of 2011….what can I say…. but really there is a lot to tell, but not this blog. I mean.. i def can’t spell out the first 6 months of my escapades, *as it were* in 2011 in just some few paragraphs. Just like how I cannot tweet this or part of it. There’s got to be some user access restriction.. [there i go again]. Just kidding anyway.
Briefly… !

The whole of the west african Mobile industry (MWWA), Nokia, RIM, Google, Cloudcamp inc..plus some other stake holders in the tech industry, had a part of me…or better still.. I was[and still is] a part of them.


Q :Why ‘m I doing this?

A: I got a whole lot if Highpoints and I wanna share.
In no particular other:

MWWA 2011 not 2012 as shown above: costing a whooping 400Pounds to attend. We had key players like google[sure! they are everywhere..inbtw hv u seen their new button..? its called google plus one..let's not diverge], Blackberry, Nokia, Samsung, most High profiled Nigerian Tech coys.Focus: Mobile web, plus.. should i just say.. the tech industry *as it were* [i just love that phrase.. 'as it were'].
A lot was said and done. A whole lot of product showcase. Those that stuck in my skull–> MapIT: Map services..i think they started before google ever did, Smag[short form of a person's name..], has a stake in dstv,dealfish,… [i think I am revealing ...]Ok let’s do it this way. This post is about what I learnt.. AND THAT IT WOULD BE.
Highpoints: mobile is booming. shikena!, any useful service should be accessible via mobile [phones, tabs,slates,UMPCs, netbooks Lappy,:)! any thing you think is mobile..but seriuosly..'m talking about smartphones here.. sorry PHONES! in general.]

MWWA was basically about just harnessing the power of “on-the-go”, organised by Mattew Dawes (All Amber, Essex Uk ). http://www.mobilewestafrica.com

NOKIA: I still love this brand, no matter what. This meetup was more of a techy-techy thing though.Training basically. Tools required for Mobile application innovation.Things like.. [i shouldnt go to techy here].. J2ME, QT, QML… basically those are PLs (programming Languages.)
Highpoints: ['m sorry, my non-techies i have to get a little bit more techy.]
What’s available on these platforms? Qt: we all know c++ to be hard core.. but QT kinda softens it 4 you. its got full support for mobile, as well as desktop. Just to let you know, Skype [recently acquired by microS], was built in QT.


**I usually dont like long posts either way, so I might have to break this in 2 parts. Since its a free type [straight from my head... no cancelling], I never can tell how long**


the Nokia event also featured showcase of some new Nokia phones, eg the n8, x301.
