When you compare the number of mobile internet users and PC internet users in a country like Tanzania you are so likely to realize going mobile is inevitable for a country like this and other African countries.
The average phone users in Africa is hundreds times of PC users. The information supplied in a mobile phone device can reach hundreds recipient as the same information reach a single PC user.IT giants such as Google and others have tried their level best to introduce the idea to the African IT firms although the technic is appearing to be reluctant but it has played a big role in making a large group of society to attain information on time. The aim is to provide people with the knowledge and details of different projects such as health project and agriculture project through the use of technology.

Going mobile is essential especially for multimedia and news companies people needs to get information wherever they are in the required time. Creating a mobile version of your website or Blog is essential since people they can easily be able to access your website information through their handheld devices. We expect newspaper companies to go mobile so that people they can read their favorites newspaper online through their hand held devices. (look at this project by times of India newspaper)
Advertisement done in mobile phones can reach more number of people than any kind of advertisement. Being able to have a mobile website which can easily be accessed with large number of people it means you will have successful business.
The interactivity the user has with the mobile is far different with the interactivity with is desktop, laptop or palmtop computers. An average African would rather buy an expensive phone and use it to access internet instead of buying a simple costless PC for two reasons first is portability and second is the lack of knowledge to use and access Internet PC.
An average phone user will automatically know two things picking up a phone call and dealing with an SMS either is to read or sending the SMS. The information can be sent inform of SMS alerting people about matters affecting their day to day activities wither its AIDS awareness campaign or human right activities all these can be done using mobile phones and handheld devices.For creating mobile applications and website you can contact us at greentech360@gmail.com
