Quote: "Indeed, Paul Hastings' experience reflects the state of wireless these days—one big holding pattern. The optimism of a year ago hasn't evaporated, it's just more cautious. Analysts still give rosy forecasts, but those forecasts are looking farther into the future."
Comment: Seems to be much uncertainty about how wireless will unfold...so development is tentative. The real question, however, is not "if", but "when". This is a good overview article of wireless implementation issues - up to 50% deployment failures, network compatibility, users - "With wireless, you live or die on your users' experiences," etc. Good read.

Quote: "To "tech" or not to "tech" education is not the question. The real question is how to harvest the power of technology to meet the the challenges of the 21st century and make education relevant, responsive, and effective for anyone, anywhere,anytime"
Comment: Links to .pdf download of 212 page book on various issues in adopting information and communication technologies. Skimmed the first chapter - looks good.
