We've been developing our framework for enterprise mobility (not for email but to create applications like sales force automation or quality control) for more than two years, with companies using it on a daily basis for more than a year. One of the keys of our platform is the local on-device relational database and the synchronization engine to send and receive information to and from a backend system like an ERP. But it's been little more than a month that we decided to open source a big deal of it, almost everything but the sync engine. We might open source everything in the future. The response has been really astonishing, even though we have not yet finished to release all the code. Donwloads, requests, leads, visits, everything has grown a lot since then. We are working hard to release all the libraries and tools so people can start creating their own enterprise-class mobile applications with the open source libraries, as they can now do with the commercial version. Open source mobility tools are definitely gaining a lot of interest nowadays. I can not but agree with you.
