Moved by the need to help solve problems being faced by developing economies, Debonair Devices Limited, a Nigerian-based mobile phone solution provider, has concluded plans to launch its Bamboo D700 tablet, the first tablet computer built specifically for emerging markets.
Mr Adebola Omololu, the Chief Executive Officer of the company said Bamboo D700 is the product of a long-term research developed specifically to help provide solutions to some unique problems being faced by emerging markets.
Consumers in emerging markets, he stated, need real-time, on-demand access to content, the internet, computing and communication tools, and practical solutions to problems.
He said many of the tablets currently selling in Nigeria and other emerging markets are developed and targeted at western markets and lean towards the needs of western and established markets with prices ranging from $400 to over $5,000.
These tablets, he added, have little or nothing to offer the developing economies in terms of helping them to find solutions to the myriads of problems plaguing them saying that this propelled Debonair Devices Limited to conduct a research which led to the development of Bamboo D700.
“At Debonair, we recognized that tablets are developed to solve problems and started asking ourselves: how can we develop a tablet focused on the needs of emerging markets (such as Nigeria), with features that can match (or exceed) any luxury brand and at prices that appeal to the earning capacity of individuals in emerging markets?” Omololu said.
He stressed that: “Today, we’re pleased to announce the launch of the Bamboo D700 tablet computer. The first tablet computer built specifically for emerging markets.
The Bamboo D700 is available at all Airtel shops nationwide comes with a free Airtel SIM card, 100MB of data, 20 Free SMS, & 20 minutes voice calls every month for 6 months.
