Best mobile technology book I've read,
By
This review is from: Next Generation Wireless Applications (Hardcover)
The best book I've read so far which goes into enough detail about mobile technologies and how to use them together. Probably THE book that everyone in the mobile applications industry MUST buy. The detail is largely UMTS 3G based, but there are mentions of 2.5G and GPRS related situations also.The futuristic situation at the start of the book is excellent and the descriptions of the technology behind it equally helpful. Very nice section on how LBS works also.

Mobile apps bible,
By Mr S J Flaherty (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Next Generation Wireless Applications (Hardcover)
I can highly recommend this book. It will stay on my bookshelf for years as my de-facto reference book for mobile application technologies. The mobile data world is in a rapid transition from text to multimedia and 2g to 3g. This book will allow you to understand the capabilities available for service creation and delivery. If you are involved in developing, delivering or marketing mobile applications and services this book is a must read. All of a sudden I know what the techies are talking about :-)

By far, the best wireless book I have read.,
By
This review is from: Next Generation Wireless Applications (Hardcover)
By far, the best wireless book I have read. It's key features are - it's independence, scope and practical insights. I especially liked it because it helped me clarify many concepts independently (i.e. you can read the vendor's documents but they are biased by definition). Have no hesitation in recommending it
