Hey, sorry if the title confused you. What we've heard from many mobile developers is that they want their apps to be cross-platform so they can reach more users. We have spent over a year building a platform that allows people to build a backend to their mobile apps very easily. We first focused on iOS and now our platform supports Android as well.

What we mean by single backend is you can have one backend and you don't need to know whether you are on an Android or iOS platform. You get the same analytics. You get push sent by username without caring whether it's an Android or iOS. If you are curious to see how it all works read our latest blog post http://bit.ly/onEjgM

I'm still confused. I'm neither an iOS nor and Android developer, so maybe this is not a confusing situation to them. But:

I can't fathom why a backend service would ever not work this way.

The title confused me as well. Can you revise it to something like the "Backend Service Provider StackMob Comes To Android" title which the linked article used?
