This is a great development, I am going to use it to buy and discover
Kenyan music. Thank you for the link. I notice on my phone that
pewahewa does not have a mobi/WAP version. This is where WAPKID
perhaps has an edge in Kenya. WAPKID has a WAP/mobi site (hence the
name), and then normal website which tends direct one towards getting
them to download content on a mobile phone. I could imagine this
working well on an old Nokia feature phones.

Pehewa has no mobile site and would require an Android, Droid Tablet.
I could be wrong here I have only tested with an Ideos and this WAP
emulator, http://tagtag.com/site/info/emulator

WAPKid seems to have an unfortunate edge when it caters towards bottom
of the phone-buying pyramid users, both in user experience and of
course, unfortunately price.

Would strongly suggest Pahewa also goes mobi.

Kind regards,
