It is raining tablets these days, and the situation in Nigeria is no different. The tablet craze is catching on. The portability and the PC-like functionality for the average user make tablets a logical choice for a wide range of people.
The Nigerian market is awash with tablets now, from the iPad/iPad2, Samsung Galaxy Tab, BlackBerry PlayBook, Encipher Inye, to Ovim.

The GXT Toolkit provides a Window widget and robust API for creating cool windows. The API allows us to make a window that is draggable but constrained to the browser viewport, thus you can drag the window abitrarily across the screen but none of it's edges will go outside the viewable area of the browser (viewport). 

The DevFest 2010 Lagos event has come and gone, but we are still brainstorming on some of the ideas still brewing in our minds. With just a fews days (hours actually) before the deadline for the submission of our fully formed "prototypes", I can't help but remember the bug I had during the conference while building my map app.

It was very geeky and fun during the Google led DevFest conference which held at Chams City PLC, Ikeja Lagos, Nigeria last weekend. I learnt a lot, and got inspired about several Google technologies which I actually already know before now. 

The workshop featured local and international speakers from Google, Ushahidi, World Bank, and of course a very enthusiastic developer audience.
