Synopsis

Portable electronics are the fastest growing area of the dynamic consumer electronics industry, but developing successful products is extremely difficult. Between interface and size issues, portable electronic present some of the toughest design and engineering challenges in all of technology. This book breaks the complex design process down into its component parts, detailing every crucial issue from interface design to chip packaging, always keeping the reader focused upon the key design parameters of convenience, utility, and size that make or break a product in the marketplace.

About this title

Review

This tutorial for product designers and engineers offers guidance on the development of consumer portable electronics that, presumably, won't drive users crazy. That means the designer must understand how to shepherd a product through all the marketing, manufacturing, and procurement people who have a hand in development. Haskell(an electronics product design engineer) discusses the marketplace, the economics underlying product development, and the features customers do and don't like. He offers detailed information about the engineering of products, with attention to interface and size problems, convenience and utility parameters, technology trade-offs, and durability.
