Leaf Wireless to develop African ‘smart device’ market

“This is evidenced by Leaf being the first SA company to be awarded the Microsoft Mobile Competency Award in August 2005 and being the winner of the Microsoft Windows Mobile challenge. We are eagerly looking forward to working with HTC,” says Brandon Leigh, CEO of Leaf Wireless and SA’s Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year.

“With the HTC partnership, Leaf will be bringing the widest range of mobile products to both personal and business users,” adds Leigh. “People around the world are already familiar with the Windows Mobile platform.” “The beauty of the platform is that everything that is on a user’s computer is now accessible on these phones – and more – such as built-in HSPDA for immediate wireless access as well the built-in GPS.”

Florian Seiche, vice-president of HTC Europe, concludes: “We look forward to working in partnership with Leaf to expand HTC’s presence into the African market.”
