Thanks for making it this far! As a developer, Mobile Data Now offers you the chance to create interesting mobile applications and mashups quickly and easily.


We are committed to listening and responding to developers to add features and enhancements to Mobile Data Now. Please see the roadmap for a current list of improvements tabled ahead, and of course please email us your suggestions.


There are plans in place to help you make money with Mobile Data Now. The project library is a market place where you can sell Mobile Data Now Projects (or give them away for free). A project is a ready made template which someone can import in to Mobile Data Now so it works with their application without them having to set it up themselves. An example might be a popular CRM tool such as Salesforce.com where a template is available which allows the user to import it so they don't need to set it up themselves, or they may not have the time or skills to create their own solution.


You will get to keep a generous proportion of the money you make from each sale of a template. As soon as we get a reasonable number of templates in there we'll make it a bit more visible.
