The Cross River State Government is pushing its   Smart Government Cross River (SmartGovCRSG) Limited which is determined to improve accountability in governance, simplify access to social services and create a robust social safety net for citizen of the state.

 

The SmartGov initiative allows the Cross River state government to leverage its investments in technology, automate its ministries, department and agencies, identify all citizens and residents, track and monitor usage of social services, enhance internally generated revenue and automate disbursements and payments by government.

 

This captures the infrastructure including electronic payment gateway, smartcard management system, risk and fraud management system and an enterprise (data exchange) service-oriented bus. It also includes biometric-based identity smartcity cards which would be issued to citizens and residents under the SmartGov project and would contain cardholders’ information while providing cardholders with access to healthcare, pension, transportation, educational bursaries, social amenities and benefits.

 

 

Equally, the SmartGov initiative would enable Cross River State to identify its citizens, grow revenue, eliminate wastage, simplify governance and increase access to government services.

 

 

This is one huge project the government is working on to position itself in the arena of Government 2.0.

Tablets Hold The Ace For Automotive Infotainment Systems

Tablets hold strong potential for use as rear-seat entertainment solutions in automotive infotainment systems, new IHS iSuppli research indicates. According to the research, the path for the wide usage of tablets in cars has been paved by smart phones, which have attained a key position in infotainment systems.

 

Tablets offer similar levels of integration as smart phones, while sporting a larger screen size more suitable for content and information consumption,” said Luca De Ambroggi, senior analyst for automotive infotainment at IHS. “This makes tablets an optimal solution for rear seat entertainment.


One of the key differences among PCs and media tablets is the fact that the media tablet’s main purpose is to communicate, browse, search and read information and enjoy media and social networks. Tablets are not intended for the creation of content.

 

Another feature that distinguishes tablets from other platforms is that tablets are essentially a screen, or a touch screen, to be more precise. This defining attribute, together with the absence of a keyboard, confirms the media tablet’s focus on content consumption rather than creation.

Nonetheless, connectivity has not particularly improved since there is still no supporting USB host interface in the iPad 2. iPad competitors have offered differing approaches to connectivity, trying to take advantage of what might be considered a weak point for Apple. The newly announced Google Honeycomb based on Android 3.1 serves as an example of a tablet supporting USB hosting.
