Portable Electronics Product Design and Development is a powerful engineering tutorial that approaches design component by component, offering priceless guidance on key decisions, including selection and integration of every element in electronic portables.Author and engineer Bert Haskell, an electronics product design specialist, sets the stage with a succinct assessment of the portable electronics marketplace, analyzing the features that consumers do like and the flaws they do not like. Then he offers valuable engineering insights and component comparisons you can use to improve the way your products work and look, and to help them fare better in the marketplace. In the concluding chapters, he offers unique insights into the economics that drive the portable electronics industry and a creative vision for shaping future product concepts.FEATURES CASE STUDIES OF LANDMARK SUCCESSES -- CELL PHONES, CAMCORDERS, AND DIGITAL CAMERASThis powerful engineering guide will help you:* Solve interface and size problems* Maintain parameters of convenience, utility, and portability* Assess the cost of technology tradeoffs* Find effective answers on issues such as thermal management, shielding, and durability* Avoid consumer turnoffs

Mobile communications havepermeated the globe in both business and social cultures. In only af ew short years, Japan aloneh ash ad more than ten million subscribers enter the mobilem arket. Such explosive popularity is an indication ofa strong commercial demand for communications in both the tethered and tetherless environments. Accompanying the vibrant growth in mobile communications is the growth in multimedia communications, includingthe Internet. Mobile and multime dia communications technologies are merging, making mobile computing ak ey phrasei n the coming advanced information communication era. Thegrowth i n these dynamic industries shows that achange in our chosen method of commu nications is already well advanced. Reading e mail and connecting to various information feeds have already become a part ofdaily business activities. We are trying to grasp theo verall picture of mobile computing. Its shape and form are just starting to appear as personal digital assistants (PDA), handheld personal computers (HPC), wireless data communication services, and com mercial software designed for mobile environments. We are at the cusp of vast popularization of "computers on the go." "Any time Anywhere Computing" provides the reader with an understand able explanationo ft he current developments and commercialization of mobile computing. Thec oret ec hnologies and applications needed to un derstand the industry are comprehensively addressed. Thebook emphasizes three infrastruc tures: (1) wireless communication network infrastructure, (2) terminal devices (or "computers on the go"), and (3) software middleware and architectures that support wireless and mobile computing.
