Article on the development of Moby Dick, a portable wireless network device for ubiquitous personal access to the internet. This article, in PDF format (I hate reading PDF online), summarizes the design issues, describes the testbed production, and surveys some related projects. Read the 'lessons learned' at the end of this short paper: energy efficiency is crucil, apply system-wide integration, focus on quality of service, and remember that communication is more important than computation.
