Courtesy of Tekedia Intelligence Lab and made possible by Tekedia Innovation Forum (TIF) user exploit, the answer is out. Nigerians prefer a good and quality battery in their tablets more than anything. With power not readily available, you want that peace of mind that the truly mobile system will be there with juice when you need it, that’s why is important to count with a solar generators for the home devices. We cannot argue over that – more than 28% of the respondents said Battery capacity or battery related is their #1 concern.
We use TIF to understand the pulse of the tech world and we encourage readers to visit and share their perspectives. It helps us to know what you care about and how best we can extract data to serve you better.
In coming days, Tekedia will be scanning and reporting what is happening in the domain of social media and technology in Uganda. This was as we promised last week. We begin today by introducing the fascinating Mobile Monday Kampala branch. Kampala is a big city in Uganda.
Mobile Monday Kampala (MoMoKla) is a community of mobile industry visionaries, developers and influentials fostering cooperation and cross-border business development through virtual and live networking events to share ideas, best practices and trends from global markets.
MoMoKla was formed on January, 20th 2010 by a group of 40 founding members consisting of professionals in Uganda’s telecommunication, academia, media and ICT sectors. The chapter was launched officially on March 8, 2010 (Women’s Day).
Mobile Monday Kampala has the following objectives:
- To encourage innovation within the mobile sector.
- To facilitate networking between small and large companies, and between local and foreign.
- To help local companies effectively participate in international initiatives through the import and export of visions, concepts, technologies, know-how and best practices.
- To present innovative visions, trends, studies and forecasts from the mobile marketplace.
- To build networks between people, companies and finance.
- To bridge the gap between local and global mobile industries
- To share the knowledge of Mobile Industry Experts

We just received a copy of Mobile Monday Mobile Africa 2011 Report.
According to the report, there are excess of 500m mobile phone subscribers in Africa today, up from 246m in 2008. This contracts with 2000 where there were more fixed lines than mobile lines. Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and Ghana top the mobile phone market opportunities with MTN, Bharti Airtel, Telecom (Orange brand), Vodafone and Millicom the major players.
The report continues thus:
The largest fixed line broadband market is South Africa, followed in order of market size by Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. According to Facebook statistics tracker Socialbakers, there were around 10.5 million Facebook users in Africa in 2010. Mobile broadband subscribers in Africa — users of data cards and USB devices via cellular 3G networks – crossed 3 million in September 2009 and were expected to break the 4 million milestone in the fi rst quarter of 2010. In total, 4.54 Terabytes of cable capacity is available across 13 submarine cables in Africa. These will further expand to 24.5 Terabytes by 2011, according to Africa Analysis.

Too bad, Tekedia is not showing very well in Internet Explorer. When we tried to upgrade to ie9, we were unable to solve this problem. We hope to solve this problem very soon.
Meanwhile, it works perfectly on Firefox.
