By

Cloud computing is an interesting new buzz in the world of technology. It provides cost savings and can enable an organization start an operation that will take months immediately just by making a payment via a web. Yet, it offers challenges as our founder shared in his Harvard Business Review column. The opportunities and gains are huge, so are the risks. Oh yes, the ‘wahala’ could be daunting and that is why you need to talk to the pros. This conference (yes, conference) in Lagos plans to help. The big guys are coming and we are thrilled to also be making it.

 

CloudCamp is an unconference where early adopters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas. With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions. At CloudCamp, you are encouraged to share your thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing. End users, IT professionals and vendors are all encouraged to participate.

 

Why Cloud Computing ?

  • The ability to scale your business and infrastructure — on demand with out capital outlay.
  • The ability to flow over (even if it’s just the coffee ordering system) — on demand without commitment.

Who should attend:
Anyone wishing to further Cloud Computing or just learn what all the fuss is about!

  • Developers, Architects, Analysts, IT Management and Executives, from App Dev through to Production.
  • Entrepreneurs, founders and leaders of start-up/early-stage companies, venture capitalists and industry analysts.

Reasons to attend:

  • Understand how to integrate Cloud Computing Services into your business
  • Find ways to cut fixed infrastructure costs while increasing reliability and scalability
  • Learn from from others about their use of Cloud Computing Services

The result is out, after many days, where one of the Forum participants simply asked: Which of these features of tablet PC are the most important to you?  The categories were:

Battery Capacity

Camera resolution (Pixels)

In-built microphone

Numbers of USB ports available

Touch Screen type (Resistance, capacitance etc)

screen resolution

Battery Type

Video format (MKV(H.264 HP), AVI, RM, RMVB, FLV,MPEG-1, MPEG-2)

Music format ( MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC, AAC, AC3,WAV)

Photo format (JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF)

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 have discovered very interesting companies doing cool things in Uganda and some folks are helping us with tips. We do not want to miss anything. So, anything cool? Email tekedia@fasmicro.com

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.
