Online Payment System - Using Zap, M-Pesa and others online
by David Mugo 21 Jan '10

21 Jan '10

Hi Guys, I have mentioned here before that we are working on an online gateway for Mpesa and other mobile money transfer systems. Good news, we have finally finalized on the product and will be launching on the second week of February. We are on the process of testing and finalizing documentation for the system and while at it, I would like to highlight key features of the system and probably if you have any questions or suggestions we would love to factor them into it. - We shall not handle your money, your money will go directly into your phone. - We shall not take commissions off each sale, we shall have a yearly fee of $200 - We shall have an easy to use API that is xml based so you can intergrate with any sort of web applications. Application developers can also use this. - We shall have a reseller base that will also serve as a support hub within Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. - Your online account shall have reports of all mobile transactions including withdrawals, sent and received money, meaning you can monitor your business from anywhere. - You can choose to use airtime as a mode of payment and we shall buy it back from you at a set rate. - You can sell across East Africa and soon the whole of Africa. - You will be able to sign up online, pay for the service online and start using it without having to meet anyone. - The system will be very well documented for ease of use. - We shall have our main office in Nairobi, branch offices in Dar es salaam and Kampala. - You will be the first to know of the launch venue and time and expected guests who hopefully will include Ndemo. Please let me know if there are suggestions or any questions and i will be here to answer. David Mugo -- ------------- http://blog.majibu.com

Nokia N97 fails to impress
by aki 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

One of my main reason to get a N97 was as an ebook reader. The screen display, at the time, seemed to be the correct thing to do, now I find myself straining to read documents, also having to take too many steps to drag/slide the views. Am considering a blackberry storm, which has a bigger display. Any lister used Storm and PDF files? -- "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

I know it's not in the "Xtreme N" family, but I hear you can install apps in it, coz it runs Linux. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
