Hi Srinivas,

SAP MI currently known as NetWeaver Mobile 7.10] could be seen as a technology platform to mobilise enterprise applications(for occassionaly connected / disconnected scenarios)

Mobile consists of a server component named Data Orchestration Engine [DOE] and a java based Mobile client for Windows Mobile devices. DOE is an ABAP component that acts as an interface between your SAP/non-SAP Backend [like ERP, CRM etc] and the Mobile device by staging the data , distributing it to relevant receivers with extensive monitoring capabilities with a model driven approach.

DOE talks to backend via Bapiwrappers / webservices and talks to mobile device (client running on the device) with a messaging protocol over http(s).

Apart from the default java mobile client that is shipped from SAP , any custom client written in any native client technology could be integrated to DOE.

There is also a co-innovation model along with partners like sybase where there are some mobile solutions already available in market like mobile sales that could be run on smart phones like iphone,blackberry etc.

You can checkout several articles and blogs available in sdn itself for Mobile for understanding more about this .
