I have read a lot of 2K-5K reports from various consulting/analysts firms. This book has the same info for 17 dollars. This book provides a very comprehensive mobile framework for consultants, managers, planners and entrepreneurs who are interested in developing enteprise oriented applications. The book is also aimed at Fortune 1000 looking to leverage on their "e-business" and ERP investments. I also checked out the authors companion site: ... . They have some additional stuff that is worth reading.

The landscape of mobile enterprise applications is covered extremely well in this book. Unlike other books that talk primarily about consumer applications, the authors focus on leveraging existing investments in E-business and extending them into the mobile arena. Highly recommend this book if your company is beginning to think about Mobile Applications and next generation IT investments.

I am a newbiew to the whole mobile world. I was intimidated by all the technical jargon that was being thrown around. This book helped cut through the fog and provide a business perspective of "why businesses should care?" and "what apps make sense". I highly recommend this book.

Before this book, I did not understand what all the hoopla on mobile commerce was about. I was getting lot of news on a daily basis on developments in the "m" space but it seemed like things were happening haphazardly. It was confusing. This book provided me with an unbelievable clarity. A must read.

This book presents an excellent executive overview of the mobile applications landscape. The strength of the book is the unique perspective of extending "E-business" investments to the "M-business" -- mobile/multichannel -- environment. It presents the business side of mobile - CRM, SCM, Mobile Office and Mobile portals - without getting mired in the alphabet soup of 3G, GPRS, UMTS etc.

This book provides a complete and comprehensive look at the emerging field of M business. the authors provide a clear vision
of the rewards and pitfalls of the coming M business revolution.
Not only is this book an easy read but a must read for those who wish to profit from the coming changes.

Good overview of mBusiness, but to much high level.

This book pulls together the different things taking place in the mobile economy into a clear and concise framework. Unlike other books, the focus is on Mobile Enterprise apps. This is quite apt given the relative apathy being shown towards m-commerce.

This book provides all the technical knowledge that is need for busy executives to seriously ponder about how to integrate moble solutions into their company's operations. What is amazing is the simple language that is used.

My favourite chapter is the Art of Mobility (Chap. 10).

Buy this book and it will give you immediate ROI!

Authors and consultants Ravi Kalakota and Marcia Robinson emphasize that the mobility revolution is in its early stages and provide insights on its anticipated stages of development. This insightful and authoritative book is well written and well organized. We from getAbstract recommend it to executives, managers and information-technology specialists, though general readers with a jones for high tech also will be blown away.
