The initial release of studentnet.mobi is just a taste of what is to come for our smartphone platform. Our plans include a complete mobile reporting, administration, and control facility for your Studentnet cloud and network services.

We welcome your questions and suggestions for improvements (as always). To get the ball rolling here is a quick FAQ:

  • What smartphone platforms are supported? Apple iPhone & iPad iOS v3+, BlackBerry OS v6+,  Android, Windows Mobile v7.0, Symbian S60 v 5.0, webOS, bada and MeeGo!  Some platforms may require upgrade to the latest browser releases or beta releases.
