Top 5 Attributes of the BlackBerry Bold 9900

It doesn’t lose its shape

The new Bold 9900 is very similar though better aesthetically than the previous version. It loses the horrible fake leather back and replaces it with a form of carbon fibre- much more stylish. The device keeps its QWERTY curved shape and the screen shape, and though the screen manages to grow by .2inches the BlackBerry manages to get thinner and is now a slim 10.5mm – the thinnest BlackBerry ever.

 

Its screen

The new Bold 9900 has a wonderful new screen featuring Liquid Graphics which is a 640×480 offering and so good for a screen of its size – 2.8inches. This screen is a capacitive touch screen and does feel wonderful and accurate. It is also a good quality screen and colours are well represented on it. Overall this is a huge improvement in display terms on the other screens BlackBerry has made and especially the touch screens.

 

Processing Power

The new BlackBerry has a new engine, in fact the new engine is double the power of the previous versions of the device – it is a 1.2GHz processing goliath that is capable of all playing business applications that BlackBerry users will ever want.

The power plant is well able to multi task and browse, as well as playing the heaviest business applications BlackBerry users will need to edit and use on the move.

 

Camera

Though not a large camera the 5 megapixel snapper of the BlackBerry Bold is more than adequate and comes with a surprisingly good autofocus feature. BlackBerry has never been acclaimed for their cameras, however this one is a good attempt and BlackBerry can hold their head reasonably high. It also has a 720p record feature which looks good on the 2.8inch screen it must be said, and is a perfect pixilation size for it.

 

OS7

BlackBerry OS7 is also an improvement on the previous versions of the company’s operating system. It is fast and responsive and you could not really fault it; it is a leap where the others were a step.

 

The Bold comes with all the necessary gear for a business person and has all the favourites like Documents2Go and of course BlackBerry messaging for encrypted messaging and email. OS7 makes the most of this and is a great forward move for BlackBerry who will no doubt see this device become as their most popular for a long time.

 

The Bold 9900 sticks well enough to the traditional BlackBerry design to make it popular with fans of the phone series, while at the same time offering some great new features into the mix. This is one of the fastest BlackBerry phones yet, and certainly the best touchscreen offering that RIM have produced. At the same time, it offers a perfect combination of touchscreen and physical interaction.

Kenya Opens its Open Government Data Platform

Kenya joins the League of Nations, and spearheading the move towards transparency in governance through open data in Africa, by the launch of its open government data online platform.

 

The open data initiative exits in various nations across the world from Brazil in South America, to India in Asia, and to various American and European nations. Kenya is however the first African country to join in.

 

The Kenyan minister of information and communication revealed that the government is committed to realizing data continuously to keep the project growing. This will lead to the development of more local websites and web/mobile apps offering various data services to consumers home and abroad.

 

 

This is not just a lip service by the Kenyan government, as it has been giving grants to various organizations to aid in the development of various apps that are beneficial to citizens, but the lack of adequate data has slowed down this initiative. Now with the open data platform starting, things are bound to change rapidly.

 

The open data platform provides not only digital information for everyone who wants it, but also as well formatted output like CSV, XML, and others that can not only be accessed by individuals, but also remotely and automatically by applications. This has lead to the creation of numerous and awesome apps in various countries under the open data platform. Some of these apps include, location of government agencies, getting live updates of policies and government news, government job listings, and so many more.

 

Many developing countries are in a state where most of the national information are either in someone’s head, on a piece of paper on someone’s desk, starched in a disordered shelf, or at best, on someone’s computer. Until data can be made available in accurate and accessible form, there is no real democracy or openness in the government.

 

I can just imagine registering for exams on a mobile app, or getting results automatically via SMS, or through an app. How about BRT routes, traffic info, latest CBN policies and many more right on your mobile phone.

 

The main open data site also has links to various apps and software already written based on open data, as well as a developer section, offering tutorials on designing apps based on open data.

The question is whether Nigeria is ready for Open data, and if our ICT industry is ready to drive it.
