Reviews & Statements

"In summary, this book is a well-written and practical reference guide to the mobile multimedia paradigm."

– Journal of Electronic Commerce in Organizations, Volume 5, Issue 1

This handbook is your one-stop source of information about mobile multimedia, its fundamental concepts, standards and protocols, and the state-of-the-art of mobile multimedia applications and services. I thoroughly recommend it.

– Prof. Jairo Gutiérrez, University of Auckland, New Zealand

This handbook is very well organized and provides clear and concise definitions that surround the concept of mobile multimedia. It is essential reading for researchers, engineers, and others who are interested in developing mobile multimedia systems.

– Prof. Elhadi Shakshuki, Acadia University, Canada

The handbook does clarify the hype, which surrounds the concept of mobile multimedia, by introducing the idea in a clear and understandable way.

– Prof. Laurence T. Yang, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada

I am pleased to be able to recommend this timely reference source to readers, be they researchers looking for future directions to pursue when examining issues in the field, or practitioners interested in applying pioneering concepts in practical situations and looking for the perfect tool.

– Gabriele Kotsis, President of the Austrian Computer Society, Austria

This book provides an excellent reference on all aspects of an increasingly important field: mobile multimedia. I particularly liked the ample coverage of the handbook, its organization, and the depth of many of the contributions.

– Jairo Gutierrez

Designed to characterize upcoming technologies and trends for researchers, this also serves practitioners looking for new concepts in practical situations.

– SciTech Book News (March 2007)

The scope of the content is quite interesting and diverse. The chapters offer the reader a way to better understand how multimedia can be approached and organized.
