Wrapped up with a bow and delivered to your doorstep
Enjoyed the book immensly. Author(s) do an excellent job in outlining the issues and providing the necessary background as to how and why things developed and insight on decision points and future offerings. Author did not bite on the hardware red herring but stayed the course on issues and requirements. Only crticism was over marketing of Broadbeam middleware woven into middleware discussion. This is easily excused when compared with other "white paper" type offerings. Very easy reading, recommend for technical and non technical alike.

Well written review and informative
I recently read "Wireless Data for the Enterprise" and found it well written and informative. In addition to the history of wireless data and a section on determining whether the wireless approach is right for an organization, I enjoyed the case histories. The writers have also included practical tips on choosing mobile devices, network providers and developing wireless applications. Finally, for those like myself who aren't "techies," it includes a handy glossary of terms at the end for reference purposes. Most books written by business executives tend to be dull or promotional, but I found this enjoyable reading and informative.

A great introduction to wireless data
When I opened the cover of this book I knew very little about wireless data, which I had to rectify as I contemplated deploying it for my business. I forced myself to start reading and by page two knew that I had picked a real winner. It's a technology book that reads like a novel. The graphics, case studies, and elegant prose make it one of the best business books I've read in a long time. It took me through the issues, steps, and considerations I will face in adopting the technology, making no attempt to sugar-coat the challenge, but presenting enough success stories to make me understand that it is doable.
