Mobile computer devices (laptops, notebooks, PDAs, mobile cell phones, portable audio and video players, digital cameras, calculators, wearables, ...) are different from desktop/tower computers. They use certain hardware such as PCMCIA cards, infrared and BlueTooth ports, wireless LAN, LCD displays, batteries, docking stations. Hardware parts cannot be changed as easily as in a desktops, e.g. the graphics card. Often their hardware is more limited (e.g. disk space, CPU speed). Though the performance gap to desktops is becoming smaller, e.g. in many instances, laptops or notebooks can become a desktop replacement. Though there are laptop, notebook, PDA and mobile phone related HOWTOs available already, this guide contains a concise survey of documents related to mobile computer devices. Also Linux features, such as installation methods for laptops, notebooks and PDAs as well as configurations for different (network) environments are described. *** Money raised from the sale of this book supports the development of free software and documentation.

This review is from: LINUX On The Road - The First Book on MOBILE Linux: Linux with Laptops, Notebooks, Netbooks, PDAs, Mobile Phones and other Portable Devices (Paperback)
This book has a 2009 copyright, but much of the material is from presentations given in 2005 or there abouts. It does not even discuss netbooks for example. I sent my copy back for a refund.
