a lot of travelling, September 12, 2005
This review is from: Global Mobile: Connecting without walls, wires, or borders (Paperback)
This is about 2 things - a cellphone and a laptop. Both are of course mobile, wireless devices. But how mobile? Johnson takes you through the basics of what you might need when travelling, be this interstate or internationally. There are issues of how to find hotspots (wardriving?). And having found one (hopefully), what might then prevent you from hooking your laptop to it? He offers remedies to many common difficulties.
For cellphones, Americans have a problem. Their phones might not be as mobile as European or Asian phones. But Johnson tells how to look for the right SIM cards that enable intercontinental flexibility.
In both cases, he describes what are now well established and reliable methods.

This review is from: Global Mobile: Connecting without walls, wires, or borders (Paperback)
This book is well written with lots of details. It is a quick read. I was able to put many of the tips and tricks in this book to use right away. Author Fred Johnson is a great writer. I hope that he writes more books in the future.
