Jawad Qureshi, Co- Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of iDROID USA is quoted saying;

“Our products definitely stand out; our range of color display, our phone design, our product and OS features like 3D and air/ wake gestures as well as our methodical packaging can give any brand a run for their money”.

What I love about all of this is that finally all the competition will see increased smartphone and internet adoption that is at the core of African development. may be we shall finally see the anticipated $50 smartphone that Africa so badly needs.
