You really can’t think of it that way. It’s not the number of users that matters, it’s the number of transactions per unit of time that affects server scaling on the Verivo (the company formerly known as Pyxis) platform. You could have tens of thousands of users on a Verivo server – if the users [...]

I’m sorry to keep saying that I don’t understand what’s being posted here, but I don’t understand. How does the use of an IDE limit user experience? The options listed there aren’t IDE’s. Appcelerator is a company (not an IDE), and PhoneGap is a framework (again, not an IDE) – what do either of those [...]

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean when you say: ‘much like a MEAP except that with a PMAP all of the design has been completed.’

All the things you’re saying about PMAP could be said as well for MEAP. What’s the difference? You’re not saying what it is.

MEAP apps are native apps, there’s really no way to tell the difference. So, they’d coexist just fine. No matter what you do, custom, MEAP or a combination of both, you’re still going to have to implement something to help you manage them.

Perpetuates the confusion? No, they clearly address the confusion when they point out that the benefits of MEAP appear when you will be building three or more mobile applications or running on three or more mobile device platforms. To quote Gartner: “MEAP vendors offering approaches that support mobile OS diversity have significant advantages over application [...]

I know I’m going to get myself in trouble for saying this, but in general you’re going to have to expect a bit of sticker shock when you first look at MEAP. What most people miss is that in general, and Gartner reinforced this in their 2009 MEAP Magic Quadrant, MEAP is usually only cost [...]

Pyxis prices on a per server CPU, not a per user per month. Great entry point cost, scale up as needed based upon number of users x number of apps x number of transactions per day/hour. Spring Wireless is typically a SAS solution, so as I understand it there’s a monthly platform fee, but not [...]

Nobody actually answered the original question. The difference between Antenna and Sybase Unwired Platform (SUP) is in how you build the applications. Both platforms essentially consist of a middleware server, connectors, a developer tool & some sort of client application. They both support the major smartphone players and manage ‘synchronization’ of server-side data between [...]
