What about blackberry?
Currently we don't have blackberry device for testing, and I have no idea how hard development for blackberry could be. It's not very popular in my country, so I just forgot to include it in the list. However, I'll add blackberry to the list to see how big is demand for blackberry client.

It'll be nice if we can use it for iPhone. Hope you can develop one for it. Would be nice to use it on my iPhone. :o
I would strongly recommend Android. The app can be used on tablets and mobiles.

Actually it's already available: https://www.netxms.org/download/netxms-console-1.1.10.R6.apk (https://www.netxms.org/download/netxms-console-1.1.10.R6.apk) :)

Although not using NetXMS on a mobile device myself (yet), a mobile version can undoubtedly be useful in remote monitoring.
From the list of technologies proposed, the two dominant players these days are Apple and Google. Blackberry in on the decline, Nokia moved from Symbian to Windows Mobile but both companies are still lacking far behind on market share. Since an Android client already exist, I would guess efforts should be spent on iOS devices (iPhone & iPad)
Ok I agree to a point, with you point DanG but I think you are looking at the consumer market rather than the business market. Blackberries are still there as companies have invested in there BES. Yes there numbers are in decline but I would say mostly in the consumer market.
Would it not be easier to have push email setup on the phone for alerts? Then a fully functional Web interface for the mobile meaning it will work on iphones / blackberry / Windows phone etc ...
Just my 2 cents....

Jdowney, I agree that Blackberry is indeed present at companies, we use them ourselves as well. However I believe even in the business segment Blackberry is losing ground, and my personal bet is that it won't change soon.
Sending notification mail to any device supporting email can be done today in NetXMS, however it does not always give you enough information to take adequate action. In team context it does not tell you who is on the case and were action already taken by the time you've noticed the alarm. A reduced mobile interface can assist here a lot.

Iphone client would be nice, the new web interface is very usable on ipad 2 but not as much on iphone due to the limited screen size
iOS!!!
iPad (tablet) because webinterface is not usable (right click problem in safari)
iPhone
