5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on smartphone and mobile computing technologies, November 10, 2006

By	xuehai zhang (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Smart Phone and Next Generation Mobile Computing (Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) (Paperback)

This book is the most comprehensive reference on smartphone/mobile computing on the market so far. It not only covers mobile computing fundamentals such as wireless networking support and hardware/software platforms, but also provides in-depth discussion on advanced topics like security, QoS, and challenges facing various mobile applications. Its level of detail not found in other books could benefit a large group of emerging mobile application developers like myself.
Highly recommended!
