Brett Haggard

5th August 2014

It’s a mobile and gaming heavy day today, as Brett Haggard speaks to Charlie Fripp about Vodacom’s new R550 smartphone and Xiaomi’s leadership in China; and Deon DuPlessis about Bioshock for iPad and the upcoming Serious Games conference.

We also discuss a new R80m investment into a solar panel plant in Cape Town, the fact that Pep and Google are working on a new locally-focused derivative of Android and how access to EA’s new ‘Access’ subscription-based gaming platform works.
