Wireless World

I'm in the process of reading a collection of research (in hardcopy) on the topic of social and interactional issues with the use of mobile technologies. It's called Wireless World, and I highly recommend chapter 7 by Alexandria Weilenmann and Catrine Larsson on the topic of group usage of mobile phones. Through the use of ethnographic studies, they are showing some fascinating group interaction norms, such as loaning phones, turn-taking and public display of discussions. Very informative for designing mobile devices for groups.
