Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Children are one of the largest new user groups of mobile technology -- from phones to micro-laptops to electronic toys. These products are both lauded and criticized, especially when it comes to their role in education and learning. The need has never been greater to understand how these technologies are being designed and to evaluate their impact worldwide. Mobile Technology for Children brings together contributions from leaders in industry, non-profit organizations, and academia to offer practical solutions for the design and the future of mobile technology for children.

On cover: Mobile phones, netbooks, GPS, pen-based computing, e-book readers, MP3 players, handheld games, digital toys, mobile internet devices, digital libraries
