Along with technical detail and summary charts, "Mobile Unleashed: The Origin and Evolution of ARM Processors in Our Devices" features backstory and insight for all mobile users and aficionados.
For seasoned industry observers there are many surprising moments revealed at ARM, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, Texas Instruments, and more firms that changed the course of mobile history. The narrative of Steve Jobs returning to Apple in Chapter 7 has been labeled "entertaining" in first reviews. Mentor Graphics CEO Wally Rhines calls the book "an engaging read", and Sir Robin Saxby, first CEO of ARM, says in his Foreword it was a two-decade wait for this story to be told.
The authors also take on the present and future from their depth of industry experience. What happened to the old leaders in mobile devices? Will Apple, Samsung, and Qualcomm remain on top or will newer names like MediaTek or Huawei take over? What constitutes smartphone innovation now? How will things change in semiconductors as wearables and the IoT evolve?
"Mobile Unleashed" is available now in print and Kindle formats on Amazon.
