Reviews & Statements

"Taniar's two-volume encyclopedia, providing thorough essays on the current trends, technologies, applications, and concepts of mobile computing and commerce, is one of a kind. It is a worthwhile resource to consult when learning the basics of mobile technologies and how businesses use them. Essays also include a highly useful and more extensive list of references than other encyclopedias, as well as a section devoted to key terms (with definitions) used throughout the essays. Recommended."
