A book about "m-commerce" new technologies enabling people to use mobile phones and personal digital assistants to buy goods and services over a wireless Internet. Amor (also author of the 1999 The e-business (r)evolution) discusses why mobile commerce is more than an updated form of electronic commerce, and why it will require entirely new business strategies such as location-based products and services. He also discusses coming pervasive-computing systems such as home networks and virtual enterprise networks. He wrote the book for solution architects and implementers who want to know how to make their current e-business implementations "future-proof." Annotation c.
