The book starts off explaining abt the available wireless technology out there. Then proceeds to expound on how wireless technology can save cost, across every single facet of your (thats the extra star for the review, else I'll give it a 1) business. But guess what, after all the talk on cost savings, surprise, surprise, there's a chapter on what - COST SAVINGS.
If you are a wireless technopreneur who is brain dead in finding ways to sell wireless technology and use them, maybe you can give this book a try. However, your target market will probably be big 5 companies with idle cash lying around to optimize their business and save more cost by going wireless, provided, naturally that they put up that initial investment for de 'change' (which oh yeah, can be earned back almost overnight).
Or if you're a brain dead CTO to a huge conglemerate that needs ideas on how to use wireless technology (to impress your CEO) then by all means go ahead, buy this book. IMHO, going wireless or not doesnt matter, its not the issue here. The issue is that this book is just an old rehash on how 'Technology A' can save/gain u a gazillion dollars if you do implement it. But I have to give credit to the author, he does warn the audience with questions on whether his 'proposed' solutions are prudent or not. Im all for going wireless, its just that u cant help but to feel patronized by Settles, not only by the obviousness of his writing, but the outlandish case scenarios that he brings forth.
Craig Settles is a purveyor (the word purveyor appears so many times it should have been edited out) of technology, so be warned, and he probably already made his money by endorsing AvantGo, BlueBerry and Richocet networks throughout the WHOLE book that it gets tiresome, oh sure, there are some quotes on other businesses out there, probably as an after thought.
To misquote Settles, at 20.97, if 1000 executives were to buy this book, it would cost 20,970 dollars. However, if you put that money in a bank at 2% interest for the next 5 years, oh my you would have made, 24,00xx... erm.. and gained... erm... nevermind, it doesnt matter. Just like the book.
