Well done but he's NOT invented.He just improved an already invented product.Thats an important distinction to make and not to misuse the word INVENT.

Bravo to Mr Addae. But except there is someting to this product that the writer didn't mention, it sounds more like a manufacturing item than an invention. Inventions bring new things into existence. Manufacturing put existings things together to produce a working unit that the individual components cannot produce separately on their own. The PC tablet has already been invented, so it cannot be invented a second time.

This is a good opportunity for an interesting, unbiased intellectial discussion. Is this an invention or not? Bring your ideas. This is an O-Level essay topic!

This is surely a product imitation yet still, Mr. Addae must be commended for such imitation.

Instead of looking at the merits of this encouraging article, you are all diverting your energies to correcting errors in people's posting because they dared correct someone else's mistakes for the first time. Typically, you have started assigning ethnic labels to some mistake made here, and yet your spelling is in German because 'englisch' is certainly not English. And who told you Akans are the only people in the world whose language have the phonemes |r| and |l| mutually exclusive in phonetic positions?

Yes, this is not an invention. It is an imitation of an existing product. I hope there are no copyright laws that have been infringed upon. I also wonder why they call it 'pocket tablet' when it looks bigger than most tablets out there and can definitely not fit into anyone's pocket.

However, that takes a great effort to copy. That's how the Chinese people are 'inventing' stuff these days. If it is good for a 'Chinaman' it should be good for a 'Ghanaman'. Before long, Mr. Addae is likely to come up with a unique invention of his own. Good luck to him.

Osei-Tutu forget about O-Level essay topics and all that. The report from the Ghana High Commission to all intents and purposes was incorrect.

I thought it was only Ghanaian journalists who did not understand English and worse-still, how to use that language. Or perhaps this was another propaganda stint by the High Commissioner?

Ghanaian journalists have continued to ludicrously misinform us that a group of students and their lecturer at KNUST a few years ago, invented a car. Other local journalists have also gone on to claim that some Ghanaians have invented a fufu pounding machine, a camera, and even an airplane and all that, years and even centuries after the original patents were established.

The bottom line is that more often than not, these are not inventions. Much as these efforts are commendable in all respects, at best, what they may really be are simply improvements and/or alterations to existing technologies and patents.

I am not discounting the possibility of young Ghanaians to invent anything. Indeed if or when you go to the 'Circle' area of Accra and you see what barely illiterate young boys and girls who sell and repair mobile phones can do with phones and computer gadgets, it makes me feel like a complete illiterate.

It is one of the few areas in our society where I get some hope that our much abused country can be salvaged from the mismanagement terrorism of our contemporary politicians and educated elite.

I cannot fail to mention that over the years and decades, many genuine 'discoveries' have also been made in the area of traditional medicines.

However due to the lack of interest by our pompous westernized medical officials and of govt, many of these 'discoveries' are quietly 'stolen' with the help of educated Africans, by global pharmaceutical and chemical companies who unknown to us, make billions of dollars each year from these 'traditional' medicines.

Thanks swapna for the correction but that does not prevent it from being an invention provided it has any different feature or features from what had existed earlier. The iPad is definitely different from the tablet just as the military planes are different from the normal passenger plane based on features. For all we may know this one has been on the drawing board before the iPad and phablets but couldn't be manufactured for financial constraints. Let encourage more than critisise our own.

Nevertheless, I give him credit because he can submit specs to a manufacturer and one will be built for him.

Seven wise men with knowledge so fine,
created a pussy to their design.
First was a butcher,
with smart wit,
using a knife,
he gave it a slit,
Second was a carpenter,
strong and bold,
with a hammer and chisel,
he gave it a hole,
Third was a tailor,
tall and thin,
by using red velvet,
he lined it within,
Fourth was a hunter,
short and stout,
with a piece of fox fur,
he lined it without,
Fifth was a fisherman,
nasty as hell,
threw in a fish and gave it a smell,
Sixth was a preacher,
whose name was McGee,
he touched it and blessed it,
and said it could pee,
Last was a sailor,
dirty little runt,
he sucked it and fucked it,
and called it a cunt.

good on you, well done. Africa needs people like you because technology is everything in recent years. however, am surprise why he has decided to launch it in the UK and not Ghana. At the end of the day, Ghanaians are the ones who would patronized your product, the Whiteman would only steal your idea to improve theirs and dump you, believe me.

...according to the economist Robert Solow, real sustainable growth can only be achieved by technological advancement. It is the lack of this that has been hurting African economies - we are too resource-dependent. Although, this is not really an invention in the strictest form of the word, I hope it goes some way to stir up the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship among Ghanaians. Ghanaians will do well to patronize this product, if for no reason, at least as a patriotic duty to our country and to encourage other entrepreneurs to come up with more innovative ideas. "Buy me, I'm Ghanaian!". Bravo!

You may choose to call it invented or improved copy type of what has been already invented. My question to those making such noise is what have you done or contributed as a Ghanaian?

The Kia cars, Samsungs electronics, the iPad are all already made things yet the Japanese and Chinese came with their own versions and call them made in Japan or China.

In fact history shows that computers were invented as far back as the 1648. What about that?

That is encouraging and an invented made in Ghana products. Period!!!

We must learn to be proud and defend our own and not be a traitor like the old crook Nunoo Mensah who proud himself on BBC that he did worked for the America's killer CIA whilst serving as a military officer with huge political powers.

There we go again, poor presentation and journalism. In this case, both the presenters and the article writer are all misleading Ghanaians and the rest of the world. Which is a big mockery. First of all, did this create any of the parts of this product from the scratch? Secondly, does he have a patent for this product? Thirdly, what is so new about this product that is not already out there? This is something the this guy assembled by buying after market parts from China or India. So, what is the big deal about it? It great for him to do that because if the the product becomes successful, it will create employment opportunities a lot of people in the country but please, do not exaggerate.
And I do not know why these writers call themselves journalists, and yet can not write proper articles. Most of the times, their choice of words and the usage of English are very bad. That makes me wonder, if we do have a school of journalism in Ghana? And if do not, then we need one. Because it is so disgraceful to the country. Journalism is at its worse in Ghana. With FM radio stations popping up everywhere with majority of spreading false news. Just look Kwesi Pratt Jr. of the Insight News paper giving Mamah, 3 months to fix the country's economy. How is that possible?

First, my congratulations to the Kwabre man for his 'invention;' Or rather his improvement on an idea that is already on the market. Kudos, Addae!

However, the question is, why are you showing/presenting this ‘invention’ to a political officer of Ghana? What has the ambassador/high commissioner got to do with your ‘invention’. The first thing you should have done, was call a press conference in Accra, or even in London, or wherever you are located. Then present your product, and ask for investors to invest in your product in order to provide the financial support for the advancement of your dream.

Showing it to a politician is typical Ghana fare. It is a sorry part of our political upbringing under Nkrumah’s socialism and central planning where the belief was/is that ‘government does/facilitate everything’! We cannot advance with that kind of mentality. One Apostle Safo claimed to have ‘developed’ a car and other products; he ‘showed his ‘inventions’ to the government, and that was it!

When Bill Gates and others had their big ideas, the ideas were patented; they called on friends and relatives to invest and provide the initial capital for the production; and the rest, as they say is history. When others realized how successful it was, more investors/shareholders joined in! That is how wealth is created. That is how employment is created.

Governments create enabling environment for people like you to test their ideas. The first step you should take then is to seek investors, if you wish to be successful.

Good luck!!
