He will also highlight recent work that Qualcomm has done in Augumented Reality and illustrate with cool demos. You dont want to miss this!!!!

Qualcomm has had physical presence in Nigeria since Sept 2010 and aims to expand the 3G ecosystem and create more opportunities for use of 3G-enabled devices in Nigeria. Qualcomm works with all the major OEMs (Nokia, Samsung, Blackberry) and some lesser known ones too, about 170 in all. Qualcomm is currently shipping over a million chipsets per day which end up in CDMA, 3G (UMTS) and LTE devices of various form factors (feature phones, smartphones, tablets, e-readers etc). Qualcomm’s integrated, single-chip solutions are enabling its partners to offer internet-capable 3G devices that support different tiers of market needs from high-end smart phones to low-cost handsets.

Qualcomm is interested in providing assistance to the Nigerian tech community on how to develop applications that increase 3G uptake. Qualcomm periodically puts out SDKs and most recently released an SDK around augmented reality.

Steve Jobs was 56 years old. Rest in peace, Steve.

The release from Apple:

Statement by Apple’s Board of Directors

CUPERTINO, Calif. — We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.

Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.

His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

The statement from Jobs’ family:

Steve died peacefully today surrounded by his family.

In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve’s illness; a website will be provided for those who wish to offer tributes and memories.

We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.
