Nigerian develops Africa's iPad.....

Nigeria's Saheed Adepoju has unveiled the 'INYE', a tablet computer designed to be Africa's answer to the iPad.

The 29 year old entrepreneur has designed a cheaper alternative to the western tablet computer to appeal to an African audience, which wish to browse the internet on a low cost device.

The key selling point of the 'INYE' is its low price, only $350, half of the price of an iPad, which retails at around $700.

Adepoju also plans to sell his device (which runs on the Android Operating System) to the Nigerian government. At 8 inches, the device is half way in size between a laptop and a mobile phone.

"The INYE is a mobile internet device, it gives you access to the internet, it allows you to play media files and watch movies" Adepoju told the BBC. "You have the standard software applications that come pre-installed and then you have the ones that we are working with various local developers to bundle on"

the INYE is manufactured in Lagos..
