It's proprietary, but has a long history as an MS-Access (and other DBs) app maker : http://www.alphasoftware.com/ms-access-mobile.asp

Thanks for the pointer. I searched a bit at the time (2 years ago) and found a few platforms for rapid app development. I guess I didn't search hard enough, or I simply gave up because there was no obvious choice, like MS Access used to be. The person I developed the prototype for was also very wary of smaller platforms due to lock-in, risk of the company going bust, etc.

But Alpha Anywhere seems to have a long history and some traction, that's good to know.
