DRAFT: Requirements for a Scalable Mobility Architecture (we want comments!)

Here is our first draft of a paper called "Requirements for a Scalable Mobility Architecture". As enterprises are now looking to pick certain mobile technologies as corporate standards, we thought we would jot down a list of the requirements for mobile software architectures that we've seen in the market, so we and everyone could share their insights.

Unlike some other documents we've seen, this is NOT supposed to be a list of requirements that magically discounts all requirements a particular vendor just does not happen to meet yet; we want this list to be honest. Because of that, we ask everyone who has an opinion — user, vendor, pundit — to provide us with feedback and to tell us what we are missing and what we got wrong.

And to make it even easier, we've published this draft and then later versions under a Creative Commons license, so you can disagree with us, or build on it easily on your own site.
