It was leaps and bounds better than MidpSSH. Yeah it was a sad day when Rove discontinued their SSH program. It was leaps and bounds better than MidpSSH.

So for me, you're selling a 500 buck ssh client unfortunately. And since my 100 now is wasted since I bought a piece of software that will soon be unsupported I'm probably going to have to defect to the iphone or google phone platform.

Mobile Admin is a server-based piece of enterprise software that enables the administration of your IT environment from a mobile device. The only thing mobile about it is the client you use (BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, iPhone, Android or a web browser), all the logic/smarts is in the server software. We would never position our product as an "app" for your device...sorry if there was some confusion about that.

I have a hard enough time justifying anything near $20 for an app for this phone. But businesses purchasing this would be a different matter. Definitely not.

Yeah right. I loved ToDo Matrix (and all the Rex Wireless stuff, I debated buying the Platinum pack) but it was just too expensive to warrant the purchase. Sure it is nice but I can think of alot better things to blow the money on especially in these hard times. $120 USD? Yeah right.

This has to be a typo!! Seriously,,,I mean,,, dang! Wouldn't spend 120 bucks on an app for my berry just as I wouldn't buy a car stereo as expensive as my car..(IMO) As noted, u can do all it does with the native/ free apps but with some effort.. Most I'm prepared to fork is 20bucks n that still pushing it.. Wow! This has to be a typo!! Seriously,,,I mean,,, dang!

Of course, developers and RIM should have little interest or incentive to propagate "free" ware, but there are a lot of bb apps that offer good functionality that should have been native to begin with. Here's hoping the bb app storefront marks a new era in offering quality, affordable applications for their crackberry nation.
