This book explains new technologies in a very simple and informative way. It would have been nice to find some more links to business, but this seems not to be the target market. Ideal for engineers that need to get an update on technologies.

This book gives you an overview of new devices and techniques available with the up-to-date information. However, the information is not really depth, but it is enough to give a brief idea. This book is a very good choice for professional who wants to know about the new technologies but without the necessity to have a detailed knowledge. This book is really suitable for everyone. For example, if you want to know whether you need to buy Playstation 2 right now, you may want to compare with the 'future' machine from Microsoft: XBox and Nintendo's Dolphin (codename: nCube) as comparison.

Pervasive Computing: The Mobile World (Springer Professional Computing)

This book gives a great overview on devices, technology and explains the fundamental thought of mobile computing. Despite the fact, that the book is on the market since a while, the information is still accurate and the texts are fun to read! Again, a good overview and background information.

This book is a comprehensive introductory book. It takes your hand from the early beginning of pervasive technology while introducing the reader to various building blocks involved in the technology. At the end, the reader will end up knowing what's pervasive computing, what's its origin, and what are the various other technologies that serve as building blocks involved in it. The book is generic, you can start with it, then after that focus on specific use of pervasive systems. I would recommend this book for developers interested in working with type of technology and MOST IMPORTANTLY i urge new RESEARCHERS that wish to work on pervasive computing to read this book COVER TO COVER.

If you are interested in technologies, it is a good buy, although it is already a bit outdated. Unfortunately, it does not provide any business cases. So the question "WHY" is not answered in the book.

This is a great book about pervasive computing. It is the future of the Internet and it is almost here!

Dear Author,

I like the general concept of your book, but it seems to technical to me.

Thanks you,
