Le président de la Banque Africaine de Développement (BAD) Akinwumi Adesina a invité les investisseurs américains à saisir les opportunités économiques qu’offre l’agriculture commerciale en Afrique.
Lors du 94e Forum sur les perspectives d’avenir de l’agriculture du ministère américain de l’Agriculture, où Akinwumi Adesina était invité à intervenir, sur le thème « Les racines de la prospérité », il a déploré que l’agriculture soit associée aux trois « P » – pénibilité, pénurie et pauvreté. Un mauvais procès pour un secteur créateur de richesses énorme, prêt à offrir de nouvelles opportunités économiques qui permettront à des centaines de millions de personnes de sortir de la pauvreté. « Pensez-y : d’ici à 2030, la taille du marché agricole et agroalimentaire africain représentera mille milliards de dollars. C’est le moment pour les entreprises agroalimentaires américaines d’investir en Afrique. Ce, pour de bonnes raisons : pensez à un continent où, selon McKinsey, la consommation des ménages devrait atteindre près de 2 100 milliards de dollars d’ici à 2025, et les dépenses interentreprises, 3 500 milliards de dollars. Pensez à un continent qui regorgeant de 840 millions de jeunes, la population la plus jeune du monde d’ici à 2050 », a déclaré le président de la Banque Africaine de Développement (BAD).
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Thank you for your website post. Thomas and I are saving for just a new e-book on this subject and your article has made people like us to save our own money. Your thinking really answered all our questions. In fact, more than what we had recognized just before we found your excellent blog. We no longer nurture doubts including a troubled mind because you have really attended to our needs above. Thanks

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
