RE: BlackBerry Apps WAS Re: [WISPA] Managing your network onthego-go-go!
Paul - I recall a wireless operator wanted his field technician to be able to VPN into their server (using his handheld PDA) and download trouble tickets for field repair jobs on CPE, check network status, etc. They wanted to do this over Verizon but also WiFi. And they wanted session persistence so the field technician did not have to relog-in (re-authenticate) every-time he dropped the signal...or They wanted to keep the trouble ticket 'hot' and I think you can do this with the volatile memory on the PDA which then refreshes when you gain the signal. Can you talk about this, your experiences, and your product?

Mark, it sounds like you are referring to our Mobile Admin product which is directed to enterprises, pricing for Mobile Admin starts at $245/server. The Mobile SSH product that I suggested to David is much more affordable and targeted to individuals at $95, most of our customers agree that the ROI on the SSH product even for an individual or small company is very easy to justify.
