Don't forget that the unlimited number of clients can be from any handheld platform (Clients are available for BlackBerry, Palm/Teeo, Nokia, and now PocketPC) to connect to the same servers, even if you get only 1 server, you have a license to use unlimited clients simultaneously on all handhelds.
It is often over 10 times faster to administer using Mobile Admin than using a "remote Desktop" or "VNC" type product over a wireless connection. What took 10 minutes in VNC or Remote Desktop, over a slow wireless connection, can easily take only 1 minute inside MobileAdmin. No more hair pulling!
Even on a fast WiFi connection, it is still significantly fewer clicks or taps, to, say, reboot a system, or view a specific database table, or execute a command, or kill a process, or fix a Domino server, or modify or kill somebody else's BlackBerry from your BlackBerry (remote BES admin), or manage a SQL server, or stop/start services, or manage Active Directory, or change settings on a Novell server, or view/FTP/edit files on the server, or hundreds other administrative tasks. All this through a friendly centrallized administration user interface that minimizes network bandwidth, and designed for tiny screens, that loads nearly instantly between screens (with no painful waiting for slow Remote Desktop updates).
It's cheaper than many similiar desktop software too that provides a centrallized administrative function - companies that pay the money for all the complicated administrative software, can afford a centrallized administrative front-end such as MobileAdmin that actually simplifies administration without needing to use separate programs.
In certain cases, MobileAdmin even launches and navigates faster on the handheld, than loading say a large administrative-type PC program directly on the server computer (A non-remote connection), due to the lightweight Mobile Admin client. Some people actually even prefer using MobileAdmin than directly sitting at the keyboard of the server computer, since MobileAdmin behaves like one huge easy menu system that can admin so many different brands of products Microsoft/Novell/BES/Lotus/etc in one single application.
Of course, if you're an individual (non-business) with one computer, it is overkill, but several small companies find this software very useful.
