The night was a roaring success, with an audience ranging in age, gender and career all coming together to enjoy Hilton’s thought-provoking presentation and thereafter, a heated debate on whether Android is a fully-fledged ecosystem that gives the user a rich and trusted experience, or merely an operating system. immedia app developers, Duncan Scholtz and Jitesh Nunnan represented Android against lead strategist Anice Hassim. James Smith then closed off the night’s proceedings by exploring the Ubuntu Touch operating system on his new Nexus 7.
Our audience commended many of our speakers and had many interesting things to say about the programme. @Coaxel tweeted:”@immediaza #opennight keeps getting better and better! Brilliant presentation on the state of mobile in SA by @hiltontarrant”. Hilton together with the rest of our speakers enlightened our audience as @AvaniRoopan added: “Following great insights from the peeps at @immediaza #OpenNight.”
