interesting talk on the growth of android in the developing world (or at least in kenya) from claire hunsaker of samasource. The African Laptop Killer: Android And The Developing World "More than half of the 1 billion people in Africa carry a cell phone, but only 12% are online. In the last few years, mobile technologies have revolutionized everything from actual revolutions, to rural commodity pricing, to how people pay for bubble gum. With the advent of inexpensive smartphones this year, the revolution is picking up steam. Huawei’s IDEOs has sold 350,000 handsets in Kenya since launching in January – a startling number for a country where 40% of the population live on less than $2 a day. Developers around the world are responding to the emerging market with impressive speed and focus. Claire Hunsaker, from Samasource, will explore applications and integrations that are shaping frontier app development around the world." source: http://androidopen.com/android2011/public/schedule/detail/22305 slides: http://goo.gl/x3cGt (pdf) video: http://youtu.be/sGPkssyVzeg
