Software as a Service (SAAS), has been a buzz word for hosted solutions for the past year or so.   I think we all called it Application service provider (ASP) provided software before that...

Windows Mobile LOB lend them selves perfectly to the SAAS model as essentially the centralised model with remote 'mobile' clients is a perfect example of this model.

We recently proved this saving our customer a small fortune by deploying a mobile solution (yes its G's again) with line of business applications built using .Net CF.

The customer was facing the expense of installing an ERP in Spain, but instead opted for a Mobile LOB solution with Spanish Sim cards installed in each mobile device.

This is a great model, and makes lots of sense to include mobility as the spearhead of the SAAS revolution (or whatever its called next year) ...
