Snapchat is releasing a pair of camera glasses called Spectacles to capture 10-second videos which can be shared on the app. Google started with software in Search and later added hardware with the Chromebook, self-driving cars, and so on; Amazon started as an online bookstore and today also makes hardware such as the Kindle; Facebook began as a social media platform and now they have Oculus (well, they bought it). This trend brings me to ask this question: how would Nigerian tech (software) companies create hardware products that revolve around the core of their businesses?. Can companies like Hotels.ng, Irokotv, Konga, Jumia, Truppr, etc, maybe in the longrun, build/create (or even acquire) hardware products that will leverage the strongest components of their businesses' (software-based) core values?
